I'm a little confused about the order of development. Should I create the
Switchboard first, or set security levels prior to developing the Switchboard? Also, the Microsoft Office Access 2007 Bible - referencing the security issues, "When securing a database, one of the first things to do is remove all permissions for the Admin user. Removing these permissions prevents other users from opening the database as the Admin user by using another Access workgroup file and obtaining the rights of the Admin user." So, does this mean that I should go in and remove all permissions for the "Admin", set up the workgroups and users, then come back and reassign the appropriate permissions? Please advise. |

I typically create the switchboard (or ribbon) early on because it helps with navigation and testing. Re security: User-Level Security is an advanced topic. You should first download, study, and fully understand the Access Security FAQ from microsoft.com. ULS has been removed from the new Access 2007 ACCDB format (although it is still supported with the MDB format). Hint, Hint. -Tom.

Deb,
I would create my Switchboard first... THEN I would read.... http://www.jmwild.com/Accesssecurity.htm and again I would read... http://www.jmwild.com/Accesssecurity.htm and then I would back-up my system.mdw file as well as, your database. You should also note you will need to be using *.mdb format as Access 2007 format does not have the security found in earlier versions. -- Gina Whipp "I feel I have been denied critical, need to know, information!" - Tremors II http://www.regina-whipp.com/index_files/TipList.htm "Deb" wrote in message ...
