There's a hole in Access 2.0 security where any user can break security
in a matter of minutes. It's been posted in the Internet in the
comp.databases.ms-access newsgroup for several months. Do a
www.dejanews.com search and you should find it. This has been fixed in
Access 7.0
An obscurer hole has not been fixed in Access 7 and the only hint that
I'm aware of is to remove all permissions for user Engine.
