Hello all.
I have created an access 07 database and split it to a back-end and a front-end with linked tables.
I wish to deploy it an a network of 4 computers, 3 of which are running on XP. The back-end will be on a computer running on XP. Now, from the instructions I have come across online, the Back-end has to be located on a folder where all users have Red and Write rights!!! And I am thinking, if the users on this network can actually see the back-end since it is on a shared folder where they have all the rights, then does that not compromise the security?
Is there a way of linking to the back-end on a network WITHOUT the users being able to access the back-end?
I am new to access so, any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
Maurice
