Enable the following option of
default form for opening but disable all other menu buttons

keep the original secured

(if any amendment to the program is required , just use export function
of table to the original database with both definition and sources selected)
Do the amendment and create MDE file again

It is not a good idea to have everything in a single database file. This
makes it difficult to distribute program changes. Instead, use a "front
end/back end" structure. The back end (BE) database has all of the tables,
but nothing else. The front end (FE) database has all of the queries, forms,
reports, macros & modules. The FE links to the actual tables in the BE.

Then, when you want to distributre program changes, you just send a new copy
of the whole FE database. The users copy that new version, over their new
version. You do not need to export then re-import the data.

Hope this helps,
