Hi. Can anyone tell me whether there's another way to secure database other 
than using "User-level security" ?

Firz,

You can use a database password:
    Tools | Security | Set Database Password

You can encrypt the data:
    Tools | Security | Encode/Decode Database

You (rather, your network administrator) can manage access/execute 
permissions to the folder in which the database is stored.

At this moment, I have 2 databases with the exact same designs. The only 
difference are the permissions set to them. I believed that by using 
"User-level security", the administrator can grant users access to different 
tables, forms, queries and etc according to his wishes. So I was wondering 
whether there is any other way to achieve this?

For e.g User A is allowed to access a particular table/form only by 
read-only while User B is allowed to have the permission to have write 
permission on it.
