Thanks; there is some great info there. I read the section on connection
pooling and application roles (can be found in this page:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnnetsec/html/SecNetch12.asp )
and I agree with you, given the issues it's probably not a good solution for
a web-based application. I think the simplest solution is, assign
permissions for the web app to hit the stored procedures, and don't give the
Access users any access (no pun intended :) )...
