How bind a mdb to a mdw ?

[Roberto]

Hello:

Please, I need to bind a .mdw database to the
corresponding .mdb database in such a way that nobody
whether joined to the workgroup OR NOT, can´t gain access.
In other words, if the mdb is on the intranet, every user
trying to open the file will be prompted for login.
In this moment, any user using his own System.mdw who
rejected to join the workgroup can open the database.
Is this problem avoidable ?

Thanks very much for your attention.

My best regards.

Rob

Then you applied security improperly. Anyone attempting to open your file
with the wrong mdw file should get a "You don't have necessary
permissions..." message. Get the security FAQ from MS and read it through
five or six times and then try applying the security again.

You cannot force other users to get a Login prompt, but you can make it so
NOT having a login prompt will also not let you into the file.
