At 6:57.  You opened the CustomerSecureF showing all secure information.  You did this without using a password.  I thought the purpose of this course was to show how to protect secure information?  Please don't tell me that I can take another course.  This one failled in its' stated objective.  What gives?

Jerry, if your users have access to the NAVIGATION PANE they can open up any forms they want. You can HIDE the Navigation Pane on database startup (which is in Access Options > Current Database) so they can't. The password only pops up if you use the button to open the form. You COULD put the inputbox code in the OnLoad event of the secure form instead of the button, and then it wouldn't matter how you opened the form.

REGARDLESS of whether they can open the FORM or not, if they don't have security rights to the SECURED BACK-END TABLE database (which you set up at the WINDOWS level), then they won't see any data in the form or will get an error message. *I* have access to that back-end table, so the form opened.

Objective SUCCEEDED. :)
