Access 2000

Can someone please confirm the following regarding User Level Security

1) Access cannot force a minimum user password length

2) Access cannot force the user to change the password on a regular basis

Thanks

"Access" can't do this out of the box but it could be programmed in using
VBA.

Certainly (2), but not (1) afaik. VBA can access the encrypted
passwords, but you can not tell from the encrypted form, how long the
plaintext password was - unless you know the decryption key, and can
thus decrypt the password to check its length.

Mmm, on reflection, maybe not quite true. You can probably tell if the
plaintext password was less than about 7 or 8 characters long (without
decrypting it).
