Hello,

First let me say that I'm too chicken (and most likely too dumb) to
implement Access Security. I don't want users to be able to access my
database window. I've done the Tools - Startup - uncheck Display Database
Window thing, but users are still able to access it from the recently used
file list. Is there a way (perhaps through custom menus) to prevent this?

Thanks so much.

You should test with more of the options in Tools, Startup. If you uncheck
all the boxes about 'allow full menus', 'built-in toolbars',' shortcut
menus', 'menu changes', you may find that this is sufficient.

(you can bypass the startup settings by holding down the shiftkey while you
open the database).

You can uncheck the Recently used file list option under Options,
General.
