Is it posible to build custom categories using VBA?

Is it posible to hide groups or object shortcuts using VBA?

Worried Access developer here. Even with the beefed up database password and encryption for .accdb files, I can use GetObject to hook into a such a database if it is already open and do whatever I want. To me this seems to imply that Access has no security. I really, really do hope I am wrong here. If I am correct though, this is turning into a farce.

Two questions about ADPs: 1) Do ADPs inherit all the UI enhancement in the MDB/JET/ACE model? (And what does ACE really stand for?) 2) Have you got Application Roles working in subforms without bugs in the new version? I have really had to kludge around this nasty problem.

PS. I may seem to be looking backwards (instead of forwards) with these questions. However, I - and probably many others - provide applications that have to work with any contemporary version of Access & Jet. So it's just not possible to leap in & start using new, version specific features. One has to be reasonably backwards compatible - just like Windows itself. In some ways, with a single-sourced, multi-version application, you actually have to IGNORE all the new features, and focus totally on what has NOT changed! Just my 2c ...

Um, did I miss the answer, or are you not prepared to supply it? Does ADE still support Jet user-level security:

- in its previous form?

- in a new but somewhat equivalent form, or

- not support it at all?
