Secure access database

[choudary]

Hi friends,

I want to impart security to my access databse so that one can not download the database file from the internet just by typing the 'URL' of the database file as my database contains some valuable information.

Please treat it as urgent

Thanks

Look under workgroup administration for securing your database. It requires that you create a different system.mdw file and then link the database to the file. That means anyone without the proper authorization would have a more difficult time opening the database.

Another way is to place your database in a secured area on the server and process a request to copy the file. This allows you to monitor and control the data that is being transferred.

You also hide the name of the system.mdw within a compiled c/c++ program that copies the database using the appropriate system.mdw file.
