    Add Password to mdb files

    I use 4 to 5 mdb (Access2003) files for one application. How can I setup a password so no one can enter the tables' raw data, nor hold the shift key to look at the raw table, forms, reports, etc... I know about the workgroup option, but is there anything else I can do to prevent anyone from bringing up the app using the shift key.

    The db is hidden, but you can go to Windows menu and unhide it. Don't like that either.
