Hi Mike,
the answer to the question depends on what you are using on the backend
to store the data.
None Alex.
I just want to stop the user from editing the tables by opening the
BackEnd.mdb, which is a ms access 2000 db.
The only way to use the tables is by opening the FrontEnd.mdb.
I only need to set a password for the database itself (BackEnd.mdb)
and open it
only from the mainform in the FrontEnd.mdb
I use DAO and have tried ADO examples as well (given in the developer
edition and the KB-articles on
www.microsoft.com), but nothing seems
to work. So I wonder...
I use win 2000 on one disk and win 98 on another. Both refuses to
accept the simple password : "1234567890aha" as a test.
They claim: "Invalid password".
Now I've opened the BackEnd.mdb in exclusive mode and I've set the
password as written.
I've checked that DAO reference is the first (doesn't use ADO so far)
in the reference box.
Still...
I can report, though, that the sun has returned in Northern Norway,
and it feels good!
