I have followed the directions exactly from the website below and was
able to secure the database.

However, it reccommends after db is secure, to open Access and
re-join the system.mdw. I did this and now...
When I use the shortcut, the security works great but when I click on
the .mdb the database opens without security.
What did I do wrong??
You missed a step.
Whenever you open a file with a workgroup that does not prompt you for a
user name and password then you are silently logged in as user 'Admin'
member of group 'Users'. In a properly secured file neither of those
entities should be able to open the file.
If you believe you have removed all permissions from 'Admin' and 'Users'
then check the owner of the database. If you left 'Admin' as owner then
that is the problem. Owners have rights above and beyond their permission
settings.
