Does anyone know if it is possible to prevent a user from accessing
the tables in an MDE file? I can go to my start-up menu and limit
access to various functions, etc. I could even disable the 'close'
button on the forms. However, all a user has to do is hold the
SHIFT key down while launching the MDE application to bypass the
start-up menu.
I would like to limit any kind of data access (add/delete/modify)
through the forms that I have created. The purpose of the MDE is to
block access to my VB code.
The MDE file has linked tables to a centralized mdb file. So, I still
need the user to have the flexibility to access the "Linked Table
Manager" and to "compact" database (MDE grows every time you use it
even though no data is stored in the MDE).
Is it possible to 'hide' that tables. Unfortunately, if someone had
'View - Hidden Objects' selected in their Options, they would see the
hidden tables.
Thank you in advance for any ideas.

You'll have to use the Access user-based security. Read the Access
Security FAQ available on MS Knowledge Base site: http://support.microsoft.com/default...09&Product=acc
And the Security white paper (Acc 95 - but, can be used for all versions
[except 2.0]): http://support.microsoft.com/default...55&Product=acc

Try looking in Tools, Startup.
Uncheck all those boxes. Make a backup first because you won't be
able to get in either. :)

In addition to that, if the users need to be able to use the Linked Table
Manager to change or refresh the links, then they will easily see the path
to the back end file and could link or import those tables into a separate
MDB.
It's important to make the distinction that you are obfuscating, not
securing. While this can be very effective against many (perhaps most) of
your users, it is not much of a barrier against users who have any
familiarity with Access.

Any way to restrict the users from creating objects in other schema
