User-Level Security

[Jeff]

OK,

Where can a COMPLETE novice go to start to learn how the User-Level Security
protocals work? I mean from the ground up when someone doesn't have a clue
about any of it. I keep getting bits and pieces of the puzzle and its
becoming more and more confusing trying to fit it all together and make it
work. Is there a book out there, website, file, whatever.

Any help would be appreciated.

Start with Help - there is some information there, but read all of the
following:

There is also a book on Access Security (although I haven't read it),

Garry did a pretty nice job of covering the subject thoroughly. I haven't
read it with a critical eye, yet, but I didn't see any problems at first
glance.
