============================================
This sample database is an excerpt from an upcoming SMART ACCESS
article that discusses setting up your own security front end
to protect the security system from naive users. (For information

at 800-788-1900). It's being uploaded here with permission from
Smart Access to serve as a resource to the user community.

To test the sample, you will need to install the enclosed
SECMDA.MDA file as your system database. You can do this with
the Access Workgroup Administrator, by choosing the Join...
button and selecting this database. Once you have joined this
workgroup, start Access, logging in as user NewAdmin with
password Ad*_Pass and load SECURE.MDB.

The main form of the application will get you into other forms
to manage users and groups and passwords. Unlike regular Access,
you'll find that if you sign on as any member of the Exec group
you can still manage security.

All of the functions to do this are in the module Security. This
demonstrates the techniques of logging on to a separate workspace
to perform security operations, and of maintaining a shadow
table of users and groups.
