I am having my first go at securing a database and am using User Level
Protection rather than a Password Protected DB. I have got it working fine
with all the appropriate levels of permissions doing just what I expected.
This is for a small, single database which will go on a large government
server but is only for the use of about half a dozen users spread around the
country and who will have the Retail version of Access 2000 on their
machines.
To my dismay, I have discovered that all the databases on my machine are
covered by this protection which seems to work per installation of Access
rather than for selected databases. I am concerned that when I install this
on the server, the whole of the Civil Service, who use Access, will grind to
a halt because they do not feature in my Groups. This, of course, is absurd
but I can't seem to find any documentation on how selectivity can be
applied.
Can someone give me a pointer in the right direction?
