    Password Protect MS Access Project (.adp file)

    As lameid says it sounds like you've already got security of the data provided. If you just don't want people to change the adp then why not distribute it as a .ade?

    Switchboard vs. Form for Main menu

    Personally, I stopped using the switchboard method a long time ago for anything but the simplest of solutions which need a quick (& temporary) answer.

    Some reports open really slow, sometimes.

    Are you using Access 2007? If yes, then installing SP2 could help.

    Using Enterprise Manager to mimic Queries in Access 2003

    You need M$ SQL Server Management Studio for SQL Server 2005. There's an "express" (free) version here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=C243A5AE-4BD1-4E3D-94B8-5A0F62BF7796&displaylang=en

    Why is code opening a Project in Read Only

    You say "opens the project again" - so are you opening up two instances of the front end at the same time? If a front end is already open (by the current or other user) then subsequent users will get a read only warning (which relates to changes to the front end, not the data on the server)...

    Have you installed SP2? I had some speed issues with Access 2007 which improved dramatically with SP2.

    Moving database location

    You need to change the connection. In Access 2003 goto File - Connection & amend appropriately. If you're using Access 2007 it's a bit more complicated & is described here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306881

    Column alias

    Strange one. Don't know why that's happening. However, have you tried nesting select statements to get them in the order you want? eg SELECT Account, Month_Year FROM (SELECT BANK_NUMBER AS ACCOUNT, MONTH_YEAR FROM MYTABLE.... ) tblAlias
