Hello all

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who's a member and has helped someone at some point within the forums! I'm quite new to Access and have received a massive amount of help on one of my first databases.:)

As the title points out, I'm not sure about the WIF. If I have two database in the same location, lets say their called DB1 and DB2 and I create a WIF for DB1, this wont affect DB2, will it? For example, it wouldn't create security for DB2?

Another senario is, if I have two databases nameed DB1 (basically one is a copy) within lets say two different subfolders within the same top level folder, because they are the same name, would this mean that they would both be affected by the same WIF?

I recently created a WIF like this and had to enter a password for both databases! to my consternation, I deleted the DB (along with the WIF) with which I made up the WID and I could access the Other DB without the Password! If I do create a WIF for a database, how can I stop using it as if I never created it in the first place?

Hope someone can help me! Thanks.
 
Hi

The feature is only exclusive to the database you set it up in. e.g. If you enable it for Db1, it only affects DB1 and not any other databases even if they reside in the same folder, root folder.
