Greetings and happy Thanksgiving Day to any American readers! BTW... why are
you reading the newsgroup?! It's a holiday!? <g>

I've just used the Linked Table Manager for the first time in a while, and I
notice that there is a Question Mark after the pointer arrow to the left of
the name of each linked table; I *think* it used to be just a pointer arrow.
Everything seems to be working fine. Recently, I added a password to the
back end database. I suspect that the presence of a password on the back end
is what is causing the display of question marks. However, I'd like to have
that confirmed! Does anyone know if that is why the question marks are
there?

Thanks!

I just tested this, and yes the LTM does show a ? mark when the backend is
password protected.

I've never seen this before, because I never use the database password on a
mdb.
 
Thanks, Ms. Wild! I know that a password isn't really secure, however, it is
my first timid step into the world of Access security. Actually, I've set my
sights on learning how to do it correctly. You may want to brace yourself
<g>... there will undoubtedly be a host of questions from me as I explore
the intricacies of security - and I know you are the expert!

Cheers!
Fred

Of course the last time I asked a question about database security I
got an answer:

dkkOxZ*((=32%$kLLmvXttuXwE!r^]\ ds*56xb


<g, d & r>
 
So what bit of

dkkOxZ*((=32%$kLLmvXttuXwE!r^]\ ds*56xb

didnt you understand :-)

There were two bits I didn't quite get (and that was a quarter of what
was there...)
 
Its no wonder us mere mortals have trouble understanding Access security,
when even the MVP gods stumble :-)
