How to supress the logon menu

[ORJAN]

My applcation is a 'public' application (read only)
and I would like to supress the log on meny so
users don't have to insert username and password.
Is that possible?
regards.

Is this an Access application? If so, is the logon prompt because of
user-level security? If so, you can use a custom shortcut for read-only
permissions. If the logon prompt is a computer or network logon, you will
need to take that up with the IT department or network administration.

With user-level security, you can create a read-only group (or account)
without a password. You can also set up non-login accounts. Read the

Move to SQL Server and 'integrated security'.

Access is unusable - from a performance and security perspective- and
it has been for the past decade.

Looks like you ran out of work or got bored or fired or something. You
don't know if it is a network logon or an Access user-level security logon.
Yes, I know it was posted in an Access newsgroup, but so are a lot of things
that have nothing to do with Access.

Bruce;

What are you talking about?

Just because I've got the right answer- doesn't mean that you have to
participate in this 'MOB MENTALITY'.

I would reccomend stop playing with your little baby databases; and
stop attacking people that are _RIGHT_.

-Aaron

 

[BruceM]

I don't attack people who are right. For that matter I don't attack you
either. However, I point out that you have come into an Access discussion
group for the express purpose of bad-mouthing the product.

I'm not bad-mouthing the _PRODUCT_.

I am bad mouting -MDB- and -ACCDB- because they are not scalable--
they are a pain in the butt.

Access Rocks-- I've used Access ADP every day for almost a decade now.

I just won't let you kids sit in the corner and get stuck in dead-end
jobs-- just because you don't have enough testosterone to learn a real
database.
