----------------------------------------------------------- Microsoft Access Security Wizard Version 1.0a README File May 19, 1993 By Tim O'Brien ----------------------------------------------------------- This version fixes two problems with version 1.0 This new version has been modified to be compatible with the Database Analyzer. MDB's no longer have to have at least one of each object. You can distribute this Wizard freely as long as it has not been modified and this readme.txt file is included. Security Wizard Installation Instructions The Security Wizard enables you to add the correct permissions to the mdb file or database, so it can not be modified. The wizard only implements basic security it will also not work correctly if you have groups that start with the letters 'A' 'G' or 'U'. Other than Admin, Users and Groups. To load the Security Wizard: 1 Copy the secureit.mda into your Access Directory 2 Using Microsoft Windows Notepad or another text editor, open MSACCESS.INI (in your WINDOWS directory), and add the following line under [Libraries]: secureit.mda= Go to the end of the file and add the section [Menu Add-ins] as it appears in brackets. Then add the following line under [Menu Add-ins] &Security Wizard==securit() 2 Save the file. 3 Make a backup copy of your system.mda file usually located in you Access directory. 4 Start Access, open any database, from the security menu choose change password. 5 From the Users option under the same menu add a new users to the system and add that users to the group Admins. 6 Exit Access and log in as the users you just added to the system. 7 Open any database,choose the Users from the Security menu again and this time remove the user Admin from the system. 8 Exit Access and log in again as the new user. 9 After logging in create a new database. 10 There should now be an option under Help on the menu to start the wizard. NOTE: Whenever implementing security it is always a good idea to make backups of your system.mda and your database.
