    Red face secuting ms access 2003 application

    Hi,

    I have developed a small ms access 2003 application and would like to secure its installation so that only licensed users could install and use it.

    Anyone can recommend the best method of doing this?

    Also, if you could recommend good commercial solutions for doing this.

    Thanks!

    there are many methods to secure your app, but also a lot of people out there trying to break the security to pirate any apps

    the have been several threads about securing apps in the vb6 forum, many of which could work in your access app
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed
