Securty Night Mare

[Bears84]

All or Anyone
At this time working on securing my data base. I have run the wizard and filled in all the information. And said finish. It has and now will ask me for my name and password at start up. This part works well. The problem begins when I try and add people to the user list using the Tools – Security – User and Group Accounts – on the User Tab I select New- Enter Name – Personal ID-press OK There name show up in the User Drop down box I assign them to a group and press Ok. But still no one can log in except by using my name and password. What am I doing wrong. Why can I not give access to any other user under their own name and password? HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Access Security is a minefild for teh unwary. There is quite a bit more than just running the wizard.
PM me with an email address and I will send a couple of documents that go a long way to explaining security and how to set it up

This might be a "joining the right workgroup" issue.

To All
Is there someone out there that can give me step by step instructions on setting the securty on my data base? I am lost as a goose on this one. When I run the wizard it created a workgroup in the folder with the db. The db will let me in but will not allow anyone else to enter even after I have entered them using the new user steps.

I am starting to develop security for an application that my group has developed. I would be very interested in receiving the same documents the Bear84 received. How do I go about getting the same info from Len Boorman? Thanks!
