log in passwords

[fishqqq]

Our backend data is on a server which requires the users (via their
workstations) to log in with a password to access the server.

Is there a way to have the workstation ask for this when the user
starts their computers?
the problem is that if the user is trying to access the back end (via
the front end application) and they have not previously entered their
passwords , then Access won't like the front end to the back end data.
so the only way i can get the users to log in is to direct them to the
back end data on the server (which i really don't want to do as this
shows them where the data is and they can now cut/paste / steal it
etc).

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

tks

This may seem like a stupid question but i seem to have exceeded my
ability when it comes to this stuff and i'm not sure how to approach
hiring someone to set up our network. Can you suggest where i can get
this sort of help (we're in the Toronto area).

It's not a stupid question. Look in the phone book for local IT staffing
agencies. You should have several major national staffing companies serving
Toronto. Tell them you want to hire a temp employee, a Windows networking
specialist with emphasis on security, for a secure network setup. Look for
Microsoft certification and *lots* of experience. We hire only MSCE
certified network engineers with at least 5 years experience, and it's a
world of difference in skill level over somebody with the MSCE certification
and a year experience.
