[mso] Re: Make Access DB Read Only

Hi David,

<<Need to check the permissions on the directory and the file.  I suspect that 
they are too lax.>>

The operating system is WinXP Home. I thought it wasn't possible to set 
permissions on a directory (folder) within WinXP Home. Can you tell me how to 
set permissions on a file or a folder in a way that could not be undone by any 
user?

Also, remember that the PC is not networked and is not connected to the 
internet. It is a stand-alone PC in a public place where anyone can reboot. 
The only security measure is that the one account which has administrator 
privileges is password-protected. The public account has no administrator 
privilege and no password. The machine is intended to be usable by the general 
public.

I have passed along the previous comments, and am awaiting the results of 
splitting the Access DB into a front end for reports and queries and a back 
end for tables.
