Okay: it may be a counsel of perfection about documenting UserIDs, PINs and
so on, but it is repeated all over all the documentation and instructions
for setting up Access security. I would guess that the care taken is pretty
much in proportion to the value of the encrypted data.

Last time I asked whether anyone had _first hand_ experience of a properly
secured Access database being cracked, Rebecca R was the only one who
replied, saying she knew of someone who has seen it happen. Has time moved
on so that this is now reliably confirmed?
Not that I disbelieve it, I am just trying to get a grip on the reality of
the situation. Should we be advising friends/ colleagues/ clients to move
away from Access for sensitive data? Ok -- that is far too vague a question
to get a sensible answer, but you can see what I am getting at.

Agreed absolutely.
