Course Description

If you are concerned that network users can, intentionally or by accident, alter or modify settings or code in your networked database, you have come to the right place! Every singlestep is covered formaximizing the security ofthe front end/back end databases from the Network 1 course! Having installed Access ondozens of networks,I have had todevelop methods to prevent users from being anywhere in the system that I don't want them to be. So why suffer through another phone call for errors that could be completely avoided? I will show you how to eliminate the possibility of them ever happening!

This course shows you how to many techniques for using VBA to control how users log in to and use the database. If you have no familiarity with VBA, you may get frustrated, but every step is illustrated and you are provided with beginning and ending versions of the databases. For some this could be a quick intro into the incredible power ofVBA that will convince them that they really should take the Intro to VBA course. For others who have already done all or part of that course, 90%these techniques are totally new and will extend the students knowledge of VBA quite a bit.

Most of the employees in my client businesses have small networks staffed with people whoknow nothing about Accessand they don't want to have to figure out how theribbon and navigator work, that is why they are always hidden. The systems I build using these techniques let people with zero knowledge of Access get productive on the network quickly. Believe me,there is a huge and growing need for people who can setup easy to use shared database networks like these and there just aren't enough people who know how to do it right!

None of this is theory and you won't find these techniques in any book. The content of this course is a breakdown of the methods I successfully use to administer dozens of networks for my client businesses. I learned a long time ago that you have to automate every routine job that you can, but also you must eliminate downtime for your client and yourself by making silly mistakes. These methods of keeping the network users from even seeing anything they do not need to know about just increase productivity and reduce downtime.

Just take a look at the demo video and see what logging into the finished database looks like. It doesn't look much like Access! Many of the employees in my client businesses do not even know they are using Access (and they really don't care). All they know is it is way easier to get their job done than it used to be!

Follow along as I take you step by step through the modification of the front and back enddatabases from the Networking Made Simple courseand show youtools that you will be using for years to come!
This course will show you :

How to "Encrypt" an Access database.
How to link to encrypted backenddatabases from the frontend.
The basics of creating aUser Login table.
How to create a simple, yet powerful login form.
How to validate passwords and determine the employee security level.

How to hide orunhide the menus and Navigation Pane.
How to set database security properties.
How to create a custom BLANK ribbon!
How to build in a backdoor for Administrators.
How to Password Protect all your VBACode.

If you take the time to learn these techniques you will saveMANY HOURSof time and avoid wasting time on problems caused by users being where they should not be in the database!

Hello, my name is Bruce Myron. I am a self employed Access programmer and general computer consultant to small and medium sized businesses. I got into programming because I was tired of all the jargon most programmers use and how they don't seem to care about business.
"Technology is great but I've always been more interested in how it can be used to make companies more profitable." - Bruce
I live in Portland, Oregon and have many long term relationships with local businesses. Many of the systems I have built for these companies are critical to the success of the business. My specialty is taking the needs of the business and translating them into a system that facilitates, rather than obstructs, what they are trying to do.
I have also spent time as a full time trainer providing group classes on the Microsoft Office programs.
In my opinion the computer industry as a whole is a colossal failure in helping businesses solve their problems. I listen carefully to the needs expressed by my clients and then deliver the simplest, most flexible solution possible.
Over the years I have found that many of the techniques I have used enabled me to survive and thrive when many others have tried the computer programming business and failed.
My goal is to show my students how to create systems that business will value and that will create long term income.

Yes, as I have been developing my application I have been thinking more and more about networking and security and how to deliver the app to an end user. This course goes a long way to resolving the questions I have.

Bruce really makes it easy to follow and sufficiently explains why things are done a certain way.

I learned a lot from this course (and also from the other courses of Bruce Myron).
He has a great way of talking you through things, showing what all can go wrong and why to avoid certain things.
Much recommended if you want to learn how to build your own system

Very useful tips on how to keep the Users away from the valuable backend work and VBA codes done by you. Highly recommended where multiple users are accessing your work.
