You need to create a new .mda (or .mdw) file. In that file, create a user that has admin capabilities, reduce the existing "admin" user's capabilities to minimal (or none at all), then assign a passwd to the user "Admin". Make sure you join the file, using wrkgpadm.exe. Create a new database, logged on as the new user. copy the files in from your old database.

If you've done everything right, your users won't be able to open up your database without the new mdw (mda) file. You'll need to supply and reference it in order to use it in VB.
