Lots of people know this but it will still get you. You MUST check the Security checkbox in Tools-Setup-Company-Company if you want security to be active. Otherwise, all that security work you did is irrelevant.

What is this good for? Well, you might turn security off for a test company to allow freer testing. Or, you might want security off while you build some initial settings. Generally, though you want this turned on!
