I secured a database with a new workgroup file and set up
permissions etc. Works great when you open the database
with the workgroup file.
HOWEVER, I can still open this new "secured" database with
the old system.mdw file and then have my way with it.

Help
Thanks
Lisa

You missed something.

Hi Lisa,

You missed a step in securing it. Follow *every* step in the security FAQ.
There is no optional step and every phrase is important.

Likely, the Admin user still owns some objects, or the Users group still has
permissions.
