I have built an mde database which has shortcut keys disabled and the database window hidden.

How secure is it ?

I know you can import various parts of it from another mdb - tables, queries, and macros (forms reports and modules do not import). Is there any way anyone can get at the designs my forms and modules ?

Is it possible to disable the Autoexec module in an mde given that the shift key is disabled ?

Is is possible for anyone to prevent functions which run from a macro from running in an mde ?

I don't want to use the security wizard because I don't like the log in, and besides, all the good stuff is in the forms and the modules which do appear to be protected in the mde.

Any comments on weaknesses of mde's very welcome.
P.S. I want to protect my code, not hack someone elses, and I still have plenty of back ups of my mdb drafts.
