Unsecure front end to Secure backend

[Alexis]

I have some forms that I'd like to link to a secure back
end. I cannot open the secure back end directly with going
through the wrkgrp file so how do I attach/link the
unsecure forms to the secure tables?

If you could view the data in a secured database, by linking to it from an
unsecured one, the security would be non-existant. So it really does not
make any sense, to expect that to happen!

One solution is this. Create a new user in the secured workgroup file, &
also in the unsecured workgroup file. Create them both with >exactly< the
same user name, & PID. Then, whatever permissions you assign to that user in
the secured workgroup & database, will "carry over" to that user in the
unsecured workgroup. But you will need to be comfortable with workgroup
files & user level security, to get this working.

HTH,
