How do I add additional users to a secured database? I've looked in
the help file, Microsoft's knowledge base and Google, but obviously I'm
not searching for the correct string. thanks.

Thanks. I read the FAQ and still couldn't find information on how to
add a new user. I looked at items 1, 2, 5, 9, 34. Obviously, I'm
missing something there.

Just open your mdb, logging in as a member of the Admins Group. Go to
Tools, Security, User and Group Accounts. Create a new user, and assign the
pertinent groups to them.
