Secure online Access database 2

[seaport]

I am using an Access database to save users' data entry through my asp application. If I type in the right address through IE, I can download the Access db. So, the safety of the data lies only on the fact that no one knows the path.

Is there anyway to secure the database, such as making sure that no one can download the file, and at the same time the file can be accessed by the asp application?

Thanks in advance.

put it above the web root, allow parent paths and use the "../datafolder/websitefolder/filename.mdb" syntax

Chris,

Thanks for the feedback. It certainly works.

However, I have to ask the web server admin to change the server settings and he is not so easy to work with.

Just curious, is there any way to make a file, which is under the web root, NOT downloadable?
