i've never used Acess's user-level security, so i can't answer any questions
about it. but AFAIK, you can't control *server* permissions from within an
Access database. if you want to control user access to files that are not
secured Access databases, i think you're going to have to do it from the
server's security.
to get a more definite answer, suggest you post your question in the
microsoft.pulic.access.security newsgroup; there are MVPs there who are real
security gurus.
