preventing tables and queries to be imported from a database to another database ?

[Zlatko Matiæ]

Hello.
I have a .mde file with some linked tables (ODBC, DSN-less) on PostgreSQL.
I have users/group permissions defined on the PostgreSQL server, so I'd like
to avoid using separate Access/Jet security, if possible.
In order to protect my aplication I created . mde, switched on encoding, set
startup options, included some code to prevent opening of database window
and disabled bypass key (shift).
Now, I read that someone can't import forms, reports and modules from a .mde
file, but CAN IMPORT tables and queries.
How could I prevent this ?

Thanks in advance.

The only way to prevent it, I'm afraid, is to use Access security.

How ?
Some example, maybe ?

Read the Access Security FAQ thoroughly several times, practice on a copy of
your database and make sure you don't leave out any steps!
