Maybe I am doing something wrong, I would appreciate any
help. I am trying to put in security and would like to
have the forms queries and reports unaccessable. I do not
know how to do this without a user typing in a username
and password each time they open the database. Is there
any other way to protect what is in the queries and forms?
Thank you for your help,
Brenda

Having them log in each time is the way to go. You can then decide who has
what access to which objects.

You might want to just create an .mde file. This will allow them to do
pretty much anything, ut they can;t modify the designs or see your code.

Check the help files for more details on an mde.

You can secure your database and not require a login, but this will only
work if you need only two levels of security (you the developer, and
everyone else).
