Security - Double click opens mde file w/o log-in with admin right

[tobymom]

Thank you for helping me in advance.

I took over this DB project just now and have questions about security.

Here's the setting.

secured.mdw on local machines
db.mde on server (front-end)
db_be.mdb on server (back-end)

User clicks secured.mdw, then choose db.mde, type in log-in/pw.

However, I found out double clicking front-end, back-end file directly opens the DB with Admin rights!

How can I fix this?

I'm not sure what this mdw file is, but you need to put password on both your front end and your back end. Then make the mdw pass the password to the front end.

Does that help?
