I'm told that this is possible in Access 2000 and above.
I am unable to find an attribute that will prevent a database from being copied to another folder or drive.
Can someone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks ahead of time.
 
It's not possible.

You can use O/S folder settings and permissions to make it dificult for anyone to find the file but if they know where it is and they have the permisssions they need to use it then they can copy it.

And the issues apply to all files, not just Access databases. So there is no setting in Access.
