HIDDEN OBJECTS and back end table securty

I have a database split into front end and back-end applications.

Both have the shift-key locked down, though I am not using the built-in Access password system.

The databases are reasonably secure, but in testing, I've noted it is possible to create a new, blank front-end, enable hidden objects, and then see all of my tables, which can then be linked to or imported, redesigned/amended, then exported back to the original back-end.

Has anyone any thoughts on how to prevent this?

Thanks
