Access Database

[Kornel]

I have a program that I am distributing. it uses access
database.I supply the database. How can I prevent the end
user from opening the database in Access if they have access instaled on their computer?

Thanks for any help

Password protected is not a good solution, because your user may easily get any tools from internet to crack or view the your MS Access database password from the database itself.

Because I've downloaded that tool in my pc and I did try it out. It only require less than 1 second to view the original database password.

So, the best solution is hide the database in somewhere in the server or any directory. But do remember to hide the file path as weel in your application at runtime.

Sure, the password on the database is not secure, but odds are he probably just wants to make sure no one gets in and accidentally screws something up. Another way to protect data in the DB would be to encrypt everything going out of your program to the DB, and then only decrypting it when it comes into your program.
