    Setting Up User Level Secutiry for mdb

    Does anyone have a copy of Lynn Trapp's article on setting up security? I have an mdb originally created in Access 2003, and need to revise the security. I can't remember clearly the steps to do this.



    Or can you answer my question? What I can't remember is: Do you delete all privileges for the User group and then give them to the custom groups you establish?

    Are there any articles still available? -- Lynn's site seems to have been taken over by another entity.

    Looking to the future, I know I'll eventually need to convert to the accdb format. Can you recommend any sources for setting up security for the new format?

    You could try using this website to see if any of his old articles were archived on his website:

    Does not always work, but it is worth a shot.

    User level security (mdw) was removed in the 2007 version of Access.
    See What happened to user-level security?
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ac...010234561.aspx

    Then see
    Security Considerations and Guidance for Access 2007
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...ice.12%29.aspx


    Also, Google "user level security in Access 2007"

    security

    attached is a Word doc on the subject...

    but in any case I would absolutely recommend you not implement the old user level security and instead make it yourself......
