preventing users to import data from another mdb file

Hi All
i'm building a database in access and i want to restrict permissions.
from the access i can just limit the posiblity to unhide an hidden
table and in this way i can preventing the users from looking in un-
relevant data
my problem is how can i prevent the posiblity to import the data from
another mdb file

one way might be to build a custom menubar and don't include the
'import' function
don't allow database window view, force the app to open to a mainmenu
form

you can do it inside of your mdb but what is someone would like to
import the information from another mdb?
one way i found but still in a way problematic is to unhide the table
but when someone will select view hidden objects it the hidden tables
will appear

Hi all, As the size of my database and the number of users grows, i've found a horrible bug in the system with a very simple solution (but i don't know how to implement it)... If two people are accessing the database simultaneously (literally at the same time), things slow down a little. No problem. The problem becomes if one user switches from one form to another from a customer's record (in this case, having the details open as...

I do a weekly import of data from two text files, using two schema files. I have automated the import process that gets the data from the two files using a macro, and everything works great. Every week the files are manually replaced by two new files of the same name. I would like to put a failsafe to prevent the files from being imported more than once. Is there an easy way to accomplish this? Perhaps automatically deleting the file...

At the moment, I'm using a batch file to copy the data.mdb to another secure location every time a particular user who performs most of the data entry exits the database. Setting the windows permissions for the database folder to "read only" seems to create problems and data entry users obviously...

All, I have a procedure which checks the users Outlook Inbox for the existance of an email from a specific address. If one is found, a question is asked to the user asking if they wish to allow the database to save the attachment and import the data. The reason for this is that the network is extremely slow and the import takes several minutes to complete. During the import, the database looks as though it is not responding. Giving them...

Hi, See the previous thread Request.Form abuse in this newsgroup... I'm looking for a simple and efficient way to prevent people hijacking the <formtags on my websites and using them to send spam.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
