Phil-
When you "secured" your database, you should have done:
1) Create a new .mdw
2) Add a password to Admin in the new .mdw
3) Create a new user in the Admins group and assign a password
4) Copy all your objects to a new database while signed on as the new user – that makes sure that Admin does NOT own the database.
5) Remove all permissions to all objects for the USERS group in the new database.
6) Create new users and groups and assign permission as needed.
I suspect you skipped step 5.

Hi Bill
I did but if the database file is copied and put on a PC over which I have no control and has the standard system .mdw then it would appear that it will open quite happily with no security. Is this the case?
cheers
Phil

Your Name?
It sounds like you did not give Admin a password and remove all his permissions. You must do that so Admin cannot open the database.
