I'm helping someone implement user-level security on their Access 97 database, and we've run across an interesting snag.

There are external Excel and Word documents that query the database for information through MS Query. I have set up the database to be access through a shortcut that links to the secured WIF rather than connecting Access directly to the secured WIF.

As expected, when the MS Query is run a permissions error is returned because the user is not joined to the secure WIF.

I have never set up a database this way, so am not overly familiar with the syntax. Is there a way to add an arguement to the SQL statement that links to the secured WIF on the fly?
