Thx, Saintor. I was actually having a braindead moment.
I overlooked the fact that after joining the system.mdw
workgroup, I still had to assign user "Admin" a password
before I would get the logon name 'n pass prompt. Thank-
you.

You should NOT assign permissions and such through the System.mdw ...
instead, create a new Workgroup and use that to secure your database. Before
you attempt this, however, download and read-read-read the MS Security FAQ
(available from the MS website). MS Access security is, by it's nature, very
complex ... you can lock yourself out of your database permanently if you
setup security wrong.

Has anybody ever seen any studies? Or anecdotal evidence? Done any studies

Access (or other) security?
It'd be interesting to know. And no, I don't have any prejudices.

Now there is a problem in that **every single** .mdb file I open now on

So I concluded there was some system file somewhere on my PC that
contained some userid/password info that was set up through

Hi,
I have created an access db that I would like to secure.
The database will exist on a shared drive and be used at a number of
different locations hence the reason to secure the database.
The users of the database also use other databases therefore I want to
secure this database without using the wizard so it does not effect
their other databases.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
