I assume that you are using the word admit as being roughly equivalent to understand or perhaps agree; as opposed to the opposite of deny.

I understand the implications of having all the users login to the database using one ID and password (and having them stored in the application). That to me is a smaller risk than the problem I'm facing right now.

Some more background to the problem: I have ODBC connections set up on each of the users workstations using Windwos NT authentication. Most of the time the users connect using an MDE setup to use that ODBC connection - in this case they ALWAYS have the ability to add/update/delete data.

The problem comes that some of the users are educated enough about MS-Access to create a new mdb and link it to the MS-SQL server. They can then edit the data right within the tables rather than going through the application which does a certain amount of validation and hand holding. And they like doing this, but sometimes the mess it up and cause me problems.
