HEEEELP!!! Access 2003 .mdb and t Access Database Project .adp

I have an Access Database Project (.adp) that I need to bring into Access 2003. I am trying to link the tables using the “get external data” “link tables” menu item.

I need to get the adp into the dbf so that I can create a switchboard and install security. I don’t have those options with just the adp database. I also don’t want the users to see anything but the switchboard. I’m worried about what they can destroy. They have full access to the adp version. I want to be able to limit that using Access 2003.

I have tried everything that I can think of but I am coming up wrong with everything I do.

I really, really, need help with this!! Thank you.
