MS Access 2007-2003 backwards compatibility

About 4 years ago I set up a multi-user Access database which I now maintain in Access2007, but which the users still access through 2003.
It is a single instance mdb, regularly reorg'ed, low concurrency and has been relatively trouble-free over the period.
I do not use a wmd, and operate my own password control system.
Backward compatibility has so far seemed to be OK, but today the system backed itself up, created a wmd file, and told the users they did not have permission, exactly as if someone had attempted to invoke user level security
(I don't remember how to do this in A2003).
I would like to know
(i) has anyone encountered an apparently spontaneous invocation of the user level security wizard in these (or any other) circumstances -one of my users may have tried it but it is unlikely?
(ii) is there any way I can 'hide' or disable the facility?
Thanks

I believe user-level security is controlled by the Access setup on each specific installation, so it's conceivable.
