Pepper,

Have you read my previous post?
I hope I provided some useful information for you. If you need more detail
or have question, please post back.

As this is an open forum, even those with little experience and opions based
on that lack of experience may post here.

BCAP, I am sorry you think we are dumb, but you may be one of our
customers,
if you are in the US, and as such, you can rest easy that your Social
Security number, checking account numbers, Credit Card numbers, etc are in
good hands.

I dont know how I got into a discussion (argument) regarding security,
when
my concern was to create a button on a Switchboard to "Run a Report",
convert
it to PDF using Adobe Acrobat (yes we have it) or perhaps a snapshot, and
then e-mail it to a distribution list of about 100 people, using Outlook.
The data is downloaded from a mainframe weekly and imported into a DB, for
reporting. Yes we have a lot of SQL, and a whole bunch of other stuff, as
well.
As far as us being dumb, I attend twice a year, an unadvertised security
meeting attended by most of our business competetors. We compete fearcely
in
the business environment, but we all have the same security requirements
because of the very sensitive data we possess. We share security concerns.
For those of you in the US, you may recall some security issues that have
occured with lost laptops and CD's that possessed SSN records of millions
of
people. Our industry, with combined revenue of about 11 Trillion Dollars
does not want that kind of publicity.

So, with that having been said, I have found a couple of sites offering
some
guidance but if anyone can enlighten me here, I will be grateful.

Thank you
Pepper

I have a rather interesting challange, made more difficult because my
company holds very sensitive information of millions of people.
What I want to do is Set Up a Recurring Schedule to automatically Run a
Report in Access 2003, convert it to a PDF and Email it to a defined set
of
Users. Security issues will delay implementation of third party software
by
many months until testing of new applications is complete - we have owned
Office 2007 for a year and still havent implemented it due to conflicts
with
our security package.

Any recommendations on how to do this with MS Access
