Re: MDE-File

Dear Chris

When I make my run-time version it consists of:
A main database
Several databases with data – links are made to the main database when
installing

I have made a profile and there is a password. The main database is made in
a .mde file without access to codes etc.

In the main database there are a number a tables that are not linked. Those
tables can via the Word mail merge become visible and it is possible to draw
out data. This can be done without use of password, you only have to open the
data source and the tables will appear.

It is not possible to see the tables that are linked during installation. I
use a code for this:

Set tdfLinked = dbsCurrent.CreateTableDef(Tabelnavn)
tdfLinked.Connect = ";dataBase=" & tabelsti & ";pwd=kkkkkkkk"
tdfLinked.SourceTableName = Tabelnavn
dbsCurrent.TableDefs.Append tdfLinked
tdfLinked.Attributes = dbHiddenObject

Before making the run-time version I have chosen Properties and then Hidden
in order to hide the not-linked tables. When installing it also runs a code
to hide these tables – both things do not help. It is still possible to get
data via the Word mail merge by opening my fff.mde file.

I hope the question makes sense this time.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Regards, Morten
