my application runs with a linked database placed in a network folder. i
have
to share that folder with full permissions. it means that the security of
the
database is at stake, anybody from any netwark location can damage the
database. can somebody suggest a solution? thanks.
At the very least you can remove users' "delete" permissions from the mdb
*file* (not the host folder). Next you could remove all startup options,
provide custom menus and toolbars, and disable the bypass (shift) key.
That should be enough to keep most casual snoops out, but if any of them are
Access savvy then you might want to consider applying user level security.
This is a complex topic with a steep learning curve but it will keep out all
but the determined hacker with special tools. If you want to apply ULS then
read the FAQ (link on my web site). Top tip: make BACKUPS of you files
first, it's easy to lock yourself out when you're learning ULS.

Re: Design question!, uploading documents to webserver ... Storing pdf's in the db doesn't seem to resolve the security issue, since it leaves all access through your web application, and the web application has to handle the security. ... If the app is doing that anyway, you could store the docs in a folder that no user has access to, and let the app provide the docs on request. ... Documents will be in .pdf format.... Documents will not be stored in database but instead uploaded to a folder on the webserver. ... (microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet)
