undo and start over.Ive set up user level security on my db which is used my about 6 users across the company. When I connect to the db from my PC, I am asked for a user id and password (the id is filled taken from my PC uid). It appears that no one els is being required to enter the password. I have removed all rights to the admin account (is now a member of the users group with no rights). I also am required to enter a password on all other dbs I am working on. Have I really done messed this up? Do I need to start from scratch (and if so how?) Please help Thank you On Tue, 7 Jul 2009 10:53:02 -0700, Eugene Wohlfarth

From your description it appears you missed some steps, and possibly used the standard system.mdw or used workgroup administrator to set the new .mdw to be the default one. Neither is a good idea, and it seems to indicate you did not first download, study, and fully understand the Access Security FAQ from microsoft.com.

Yes I did make a backup. I did download and study the FAQ. Your assumption that I missed a step is probably the more correct. Will I need to remove the standard mdw files? What are the steps to back out of this?
