Hi DatabaseMX, many thanks for your comments and the links. I have found the answer in your link 'Workgroup Administrator utility in Access 2007 - many thanks, I created and ran a RunCommand Macro and it worked perfectly. I will have to learn all about the new security measures in 2007 but this at least got me over the hurdle with a client. Thank you again
Too bad. No solution I know of.
