RBrandt at Hunter dot com I did get the .mdw file to work on it's own, however, I can't get a shortcut
to .exe to work ( I know, strange?!) or the .mdb. I have checked the paths heaps to ensure I have the right spellings, spaces, etc When I type in the enter shortcut, it adds another "C:/" on the front of what I've typed in. When I try without the C:/, it tells me it can't find 'Program'. Frustrating me!!!

"This file <as below> cannot be found" ? You need to give the *exact* message - we can not guess it over the airwaves! TC Ok - I've run the wizard instead and it's created a perfectly good shortcut
for me. Will I be able to split my database successfully now? I was going to copy the database, delete all the objects except tables, log in original as Administrator (yes, the user I've created - not default Admin) and delete the tables then link them. Will that give me the security I need?

Ummmm, I don't know...just some of it!
I think that will be ok. i don't need it to be like fort knox, just secure enough for people to not get into it any sneaky ways! Thanks heaps!

Is it a private carpark, or do I park in the street? Are there any parking restrictions there? Am I even driving tomorrow? Do I even own a car? You don't know any of that - because I haven't told you. Similary, we don't know anything about your security requirements - because you haven't told us! HTH, TC I'm really sorry and totally understand where you are coming from! I should
have posted that information.... Unfortunately, after an extremely harrowing two months of database development, my brain is just about fried! I've just split the database, security works on the front end, no one can get into the back end...so I'm happy!!! Thanks!
