i believe the only other way to import data into a database other than in code, is to use the file menu and GET EXTERNAL DATA. you can shut that off using this code:
Code:
Application.CommandBars("File").Controls("get external data").Enabled = False

Passwrod protect your database, in short. You can also set the table properties Hidden to True. You application will still work but if you attempt to import tables from that mdb the mdb attempting to import cannot see the hidden tables.
