There is a security hole in Access (97 and 2000) if you are using IExplorer 4.0 or above<br>Which could aloud somebody to upload and run code into your machine thru' the internet without you knowing.... I should would love to learn how to do that....!<br><br>anyway this is how you fix the bug<br><br>1. Start Access without opening any databases<br>2. from the tools menu choose security<br>3. Select users and group accounts<br>4. Ensure that the Name on the user block is ADMIN<br>5.Go to the Change Logon Password tab<br>6. The Admin password should be blank fi it has never been changed. If it is not blank go to Step 8<br>7. Assign a password that you can remember to the Admin user<br>8. Click apply, then OK to exit the menu and close the window to exit Access<br><br>Sometimes I just think they should change the name to Microsoft Windbugs, shouldn't they? <p>Dumboy.! Ouch.! .my brain.....<br><a href=mailto:spiderdesign@yahoo.com>spiderdesign@yahoo.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>It's hard to think with only one neuron......Ouch.....!....it hurts when I think......!
