Disallowing multiple users on a backend mdb

[Silvester]

Hi,

I intend to distribute my demo app as a split secured database. I do NOT
want this app to be used in a multi-user environment, ie: only ONE user is
allowed to use the app.

How do I ensure a single-user environment only and keep users from copying
the mde frontend and linking to the backend and multiple users using the
app.

TIA

Put code in the frontend to *exclusively* open a Database object on
the backend database. See the online help for the OpenDatabase method
for the details.
