Had this in "Security" Newsgroup, but no Replies..

[Bob Barnes]

1 - Are there any Security precautions to take since Access 2000?

2 - Without accessibility to the System.mdw, but having a Read-Only Form that
was locked by subject DBs system.mdw.....

Can I copy Objects (Lines, boxes, textboxes, comboboxes) w/ their code from
that Form module without introducing any errors, links, corruption?

If trying to copy these objects is not wise, I have the working code in an
Excel file, and would just copy that into the module.

TIA - Bob

Security did not change in any material way with 2002 and 2003. Workgroup
security was REMOVED in 2007 - it's not available with the newer .accdb
format, and - I believe, may be mistaken here - must be maintained using an
earlier version.

Depends on how it was locked. If you don't have design mode permission you
won't be able to do so.

If trying to copy these objects is not wise, I have the working code in an
Excel file, and would just copy that into the module.

This makes no sense to me. Excel Forms are quite different than Access forms.

Thank you for the other answers - Bob
