Any tips for securing an Access database

I'm looking for tips on securing an Access database using Windows logon. I don't want users to have to remember another password.

RE: Any tips for securing an Access database

Hi mark

Thanks for your question

I suggest splitting the database into a backend and a frontend, using the database splitter. Each person would then access the database through their own copy of the frontend, which would only be available after they had loged on. The forms in each frontend could be tailored to the user thus allowing

1. Control over what each user can see
2. Control over what records/fields could be edited/deleted
3. Limits on what design changes can be carried out

Hope this is useful

Regards

Stephen

Access tip:

Using the Quick Access Toolbar in Access 2010

The Quick Access Toolbar is included in virtually every Office product, including Outlook 2010, Word 2010, Excel 2010, and PowerPoint 2010.

You will find the Quick Access Toolbar in the top-left side of the window. To begin, click the Customize button (it's the little black arrow at the end of the toolbar).

Simply click the commands you want to include.

Virtually any command can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. Click the More Commands option and a new window will open from where you can browse the commands including those not on the ribbon.
