Hello ppl:
I am facing a problem that I ahve never experienced before with the
secured database. I created an MS Access 2000 application (.mdb) using
MS Access 2002 and secured it using exactly the procedure described in
the Access Security FAQ and as I have been doing since the time I
have started using Access. [SNIP]
Now the problem I am facing is, that when the project went into QA
phase, the QA team observed that on the machines that the application
was installed for testing, the users were able to open and use the
application without using its defined workgroup information file
(xxx_WIF.mdw) and the default WIF of windows worked for them to open
the database. [SNIP]
When you go into Tools - Security who does it show is the owner of the
database?
There is simply no getting around the fact that when you open an mdb using
a workgroup file that does not ask you to log in, then you are then logged
in as "Admin" who is a member of "Users". A properly secured file cannot
be opened with such an account. It is a mystery why only "some" machines
are allowed to open it without logging in, but I have to believe that you
missed a step in setting up security.
