What's new about securing, maintaining, and converting a database

• Secure your Access database with the User-level Security Wizard   The User-level Security Wizard is now much easier to use and is the preferred method for defining user-level security on a Microsoft Access database for most common security schemes.
  
  
• Protect your code with Visual Basic for Applications password protection   Modules and modules behind forms and reports are now protected by a Visual Basic Applications (VBA) password that you create in the Visual Basic Editor; they are no longer protected by user-level security.
  
  
• Use the improved Compact utility   Compact Microsoft Access databases and Microsoft Access projects with an improved utility that combines compacting and repairing into a single process, and is safer and more effective.
  
  
• Compact automatically   Select Compact On Close to automatically compact a Microsoft Access database or Microsoft Access project when you close it.
  
  
• Convert a database to Microsoft Access 97   Convert an Access 2000 database to Access 97 file format.
