Linking Database on Network

[v5652]

i have developed one application which is used in network.
i have shared the database (backend) file on network to link other network frontend mdb files.
but it is not secure to share this file/folder on network.

Any one can delete this file.

so i want such solution for this that even if i have not shared this file on network, i should link backend database.
or any other suggestion if any.

Hi
File has to be accessible to the users who will use it, and they must have read/write/create/delete priviledges in the folder in which it is contained. How about setiing the file hidden property to true once you have linked the tables?

Not perfect, but betetr than nothing

Regular backups are also required.
