I would like instructions regarding setting passwords in an Access database
to limit employees access only to their update form.
 
uh use SQL Server

it is impossible to keep MDB secure; I mean everything is stored in
plain text!

I suggest you start by reading

Access security is a great feature, but it is, by nature a complex product
with a very steep learning curve. Properly used it offers very safe
versatile protection and control. However a simple mistake can easily lock
you out of your database, which might require the paid services of a
professional to help you get back in.

Practice on some copies to make sure you know what you are doing.

Like all things however the protection is not perfect. If someone is
willing to do the work and pay the price they can break the security.
