Is there a way of preventing the back end from being opened directly. I
cannot hide the actual file as I have no control over where the customer puts
the backend. I was hoping to have something where if someone opens the
backend directly, it flashes up a message and then closes the database.

Add an AutoExec Macro that displays a message and then closes the file.

Instead of calling it "mydb.mdb" you can call it "data.dat" or just "data"
with no extension.
It behaves the same regardless.
