Good stuff as always David!

My two cents; firewall rules to block developers from direct access to production is a very cool thing, and probably easier to sell in the SOX era than killing the legacy apps. Doesn't eliminate the problem, but makes it hard for them to abuse. The other point is that hostname can be spoofed on purpose or accidentally. I don't know if it still does it, but when you linked a table in Access it would store the host name as part of the connection, so if you copied the MDB to someone else it looked like they were running from the original machine.
