Converting to Acc07 from Acc03

My Acc03 databases are secured using workgroup (user level) security.  I am
in the process of converting to Acc07.  How do I after upgrading to Acc07 get
rid of the workgroup and still keep the databases secure?

Thanks

If you want user-level security, you cannot convert to the new .accdb format
in Access 2007: you need to leave your application in .mdb format.

If I leave it as .mdb would I be able to add new groups and users?

Yes, although you'd need to do it through code, as I don't believe Access
2007 includes an interface to simplify it.

It's on the Ribbon tab Database Tools under the Ribbon called Administer. You
should see also the Replication Option there.

If you don't see it, it is not a MDB format database.
