How to prevent importing tables

Hello

We have a small database intended for retail sale. We have converted it to
an mde and have locked it down regarding security and startup options etc.
We have also hidden several of the critical tables and queries. The problem
is, if I open a new database in Access and have set my options correctly, I
can import all of the tables and queries.

To protect our investment, does anyone know how we prevent this type of
importing?

Any help appreciated.
