Helping you create better Microsoft Access applications

LASsie (Light Application Security) is a Microsoft® Access® add-on that enhances your Access application with a simplified user security system. Intended as an alternative to Access’ built-in security, LASsie offers a less complicated way to secure forms, reports, controls and certain records from unauthorized user access.

With LASsie, you can:

• Prevent a user from opening specific forms or reports
• Restrict a user's ability to update data on a form
• Disable certain controls on a form for a user
• Filter certain records for a given user
• Incorporate a sign-on form into your application
• Optionally use network login username instead of sign-on form
• Add/edit/remove users, groups, and permissions/restrictions

LASsie is called "light" application security because it is not intended to be a robust, high-end security application. In fact, a sophisticated user could edit the underlying tables and change their own security level. By hiding the LASsie tables, and/or linking to them in an external, encrypted database, you could minimize the possibility of such potential breaches, but you should understand that we do not guarantee that such a breach will never occur. That being said, LASsie can serve quite well as an application security system where users are relatively unsophisticated, or where application data is not of a highly classified nature.

LASsie consists entirely of Access objects and VBA code so it is easy to distribute with your Access application.

Supports Access versions 2000 through 2013 including Access 2010 and 2013 64-bit.
