Not really.
If a person can get physical access to a file, they can open it in Wordpad, and see the data. You can't stop them doing that.
The usual solutions are:
- Use a product like Cryptor to encrypt the files. See
- Move to a back-end database server like SQL Server (this will be an expensive and time-consuming solution, but will be very secure).

Another option is to have all access that goes through a middle-tier COM server. It can use a different login than the actual user.
