Protecting a Db

I am using Access 2000

I created a Db with forms and reports. I also made a menu
so that non Db users can use the Db easily. What do I
change in the Properties of the Menu to stop anyone from
getting to the Database? Right now when you click on the
little "x" to close the menu it takes you to the Database.
I know I have read somewhere how to lock the Database but
can't remember where. Can anyone please help me?

I'd suggest you go to your local bookstore and browse until you find a
self-study book with good coverage on this area. Locking down, the final
"polishing" of a database application, involves a number of steps: you have
to hide the database window, you have to set a start form, you have to
disable the bypass key, etc.. And, you'll likely want to apply Access'
security with a workgroup file... search for Access Security FAQ at
