Protect the database

[MickTheBelgian]

I would like to prevent someone from running off with the entire company customer database. In other words, disable the "File/Save As" and "File/Export" menus.
Anybody any ideas?

As far as I know there is no way to disable this. You would also have to prevent them from copying the database file from the computer/server. You might try a bit of dis-information Just let people think that a log file is written when these actions take place. Kind of sneaky but it will give someone a second thought about copying the database

Copying from the server is no problem, you can run the software from a different userID.
Disalbing the menu should theoretically be possible with a Windows Hook launched from a "babysit" program, but it is far from obvious.
