    How can I lock a Access database so that it can only be opened with the application that I am developing.

    I can always password the db, but how would I use the password through code in Vb?

    I am using VB6

    Thanks in advance.

    Only problem with passwording your database is that there are lots of programs available that can crack the password. If the data is sensitive, you should consider encrypting the data (with or without a lock).

    All of the usual access methods can open a database with a password.
