Security not working on other comps

[Airkon]

I have setup the whole security thing on my pc (following those white papers
etc) and everything works fine(logons/error msg when access mdb directly)...
but when another user on the network clicks the mdb file, he can open it
without logging it. When I checked the comp, they seem to be using the
default system.mdw file. Anyone knows how I can fix this?

The simple answer is that you've missed one or more steps. You should never
modify the default "system.mdw" WIF or change the default workgroup setting
but join your custom workgroup by using a shortcut with a command line in
the format

"Full path to MSACCESS.exe" "Full path to your app.mdb" /wrkgrp "Fill path
to your WIF.mdw"

including the quotes.

If you've read all of the recommended documentation then perhaps the example
on my web site might help.
