Thanks ghudson! For budgetary reasons my client doesn't want to budge from Access 2.0 now. Money speaks louder than logical actions I guess, as I am pushing them to go to the newer version of Dev Edition, but I'm not the one making the decisions for the company. Oh well... So is eBay the only...

Namliam, have you actually used that version to create such an install?

Hello everyone! I'm trying to find out ways to prevent users from creating brand new MDB files either on a desktop or on a network. Now I know about couple of options. I found this on MS site: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=210329 This is helpful as a general solution, bur requires...
