In Access, open the database you want to protect. Go to tools, Startup. In that dialog press on Advanced. Uncheck "Use Access Special Keys". Here you can manage some security features, but it is the general consensus among the elite here that to truly protect your database you should go for admin/user priviledges and things like that.
Read "AllowSpecialKeys Property" topic in Access help for more info. Do a search in this forum about database security and follow the pros advised (I'm not one of them
)
Hope this helps.

Thanks for your input George.
"Use Special Access Keys" is unchecked....
What I found:
Open Microsoft Access
Press Alt-F11 - (this opens VBEditor)
Go back to access shell, press file-Open,
Open a DB that has been protected - not .mde
then go back to VBEditor and there's the code.
I can't make it a .mde yet. I still have code to edit, but I don't want users to have access to it.
There are no toolbars, menubars, shortcut clicks

Didn't know about the Alt F11 option.
Followed your instructions and opened one of my db's. When I went to the code window, I was prompted for the password.
Do you have the code password protected.... In the VB window.. Tools - Properties - Protection - Lock Project for viewing ?
Cant think of anything else
