Permissions for Import/Export

[jpa]

I have a front/back-end database. In the front-end, users can read/write/delete data in most of the tables in the linked back-end.

How do I keep these same users from Importing the back-end tables (structure mainly) into a separate new Access database? Is there a way to set permissions on exporting tables (and other objects)?

If the users have direct access to the backend then the only way is to implement user level security making sure that the backend is also secured. Otherwise anyone with a retail copy of Access and enough brains to open a database can pirate your data structure.

What do you mean by "user level security" (in case you have different ideas besides what I'm doing)? I already have the database set so that users have to log into both the front and back ends (and once they get in they can only go specific forms, not the datbase window, etc). But since they can read the tables, they can still import (i.e. read) the tables into their own separate database.

Does this mean if I have read permissions to tables of any Access database, I can view the table structures by importing the tables into a new database?
