Articles on Security

[Glenn]

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can find articles on implementing security in
Access? I've seen people make a real mess of doing it, and thought it might
be a good idea to read up some more on the subject before attempting it
myself.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Glenn

Dear Glenn:

Here are a few...

Access User-Level Security:

Security FAQ (the Security Bible):
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=207793

Jack Macdonald's Security Document:
http://www.geocities.com/jacksonmacd/AJMAccessSecurity.pdf

Lynn Trapp's Ten Security Steps:
http://www.ltcomputerdesigns.com/Security.htm

Joan Wild's Tips:
http://www.jmwild.com/security02.htm

The Security Whitepaper is also worth reading:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=148555

Brace yourself! Access security has a steep learning curve! You might want
to lurk about in microsoft.public.access.security in addition to reading
(and re-reading) these resources, you will quickly see a pattern of posts
which indicate common pitfalls.

Good Luck!
Fred Boer
