Access ULS security was never very secure and the prevailing theory is that since a file based system can never be made secure that there was no point continuing the charade. I assume the lawyers had a hand in the decision.

You are aware that there are utilities one can find on the internet that will defeat ULS aren't you? They have been around for several years now.

Thanks - Yep, I'm aware that it's not foolproof but many of my clients don't need to protect their data so much from hackers as they need to protect it from snoopy file clerks and sales-droids who are not Access literate. Oh well, the good Lord giveth and taketh away <grin>.
