I'm surprised someone as experienced as you would never have

exactly hard to crack Jet security.
I don't do much with secured mdbs. In fact, I can probably count the
number of secured mdbs I've developed on one hand. The vast majority of
what I do is reporting front ends on Oracle back ends where I normally
restrict the user view connected to via ODBC to one with read only
access, so Access/Jet security is not needed.
I must say, I thought an mdw was a special non-mdb file of some sort.
This may well be something I missed from the Access security FAQ (which
I must follow closely anytime I do tackle security, as I forget most
things) - is it mentioned in there?
I'll have to poke around some mdw files now when I get back to work
tomorrow!
