Thank you Rick! I now have the database properly secured. I wasn't aware of
the security FAQ document. I am still wondering why my other access database
files all require the same username password security when they aren't
related to the database I secured. Any ideas? It seems that the security is
still tied to the entire app rather than the database file.
