Hello. I would like some general advice.

1. Is the security which is described in the 10-step document that is posted here form time to time the so-called "Access User-Level Security"? Are they one and the same?

I have no idea. The document that is most frequently referenced here is the FAQ (link on my web site).


2. Do you recommend it?

Yes.

Is it worth the trouble?

Yes.

Are there better ways?

To do what? To apply security to an Access file I would say no, but to secure your data? Yes. Access security is breakable if you have the right tools, other systems such as Oracle are more robust.

I realize individual requirements may vary but what has been your experience?

It's all down to your requirements. You need to assess what risk there is of anyone hacking your system. In my organisation that risk is minute so Access security is fine for the job.


3. Where can I get a small sample database employing this security?


I don't think anyone has ever offered one on here but you never know. Try the example on my web site, it will give you a flavour of what's involved.
