Re: security not requesting log in

She is admin (in her own mdw file).

You did not secure your database. You skipped at least two very important
steps. If you had secured it, she would not be able to open it with her mdw
file and the Admin user would not have any access to the objects in the
database.

It sounds like all you did is go in and set up some users and groups with
permissions and stopped there.

You need to go back and follow *ALL* the steps involved in securing your
file. These need to be done in order. I would make a backup copy first.
The steps can be found in the following links:

I added security to my database. Some how one of the users is able to open
my database and add information and it is not requesting she log on. It
opens immediately to the main screen and shows her as Admin.

What do I do?

Thanks in advance.....Jen
