In what order should I split/secure db?

After getting some advice from the other forum members, I've decided that it's a good idea to split my db into FE and BE. But I also want to set up user-level security.

My question is this: does it matter if I split the database first and then run the user-level security wizard (and if that's the way to go, do I run it for the FE, the BE, or both?), or should I instead run the user-level security wizard first, and then split the db into FE and BE? Also, I'm thinking of using a password to protect the VBA code; is there a specific point in the sequence in which I should do that in order to minimize potential complications?

Thanks a lot,

Well I rarely use the wizard - I do it by hand and I do it on the split Front and Back separately.

Thr one thing I would advise to "minimise complications" as you put it is

Take Backups at every stage

Do a Step and check that it has gone okay - then take another backup

Keep all the backup stages clearly renames/labeled

Only delete them when you have trialed and tested the secured product.
