vb backend database

[alexis23]

hi there,

I am currently doing a project with ms access as my backend database, but my prob is that even i put a password in it, still be hackable and data will be viewable, is there a way to avoid this? if i will use MYSQL, is the deployment requires technical person? i mean my intension is that even the non-technical person can install my software along with the database..

thanks

alexis

Alexis --

We need a little more information. Is the software to be used by the public or is it to be used by one specific company or group of people?

If only to be used by one company or group of people why not install MySQL on a server and allow each user's app to connect to the server. Thus the end user only has to install the app not a database engine.

There are steps you can take to make breaking into a database more difficult, but adding levels of difficulty is about the best you can do.

A determined hacker will find a way if they really, really want to.
