Re: How to protect data within MS access?

It is simple, I have a small client application, windows c# .NET,
framework 2.0...

Within mdb are two tables, the first one is approx 300.000 rows, and
second one is approx 100 rows. User reads (no update) and search data.
Search is normal with WHERE clause based on column value and
incremental.

Hi,

If protect MS Access with password it doesn't mean to much. On
internet, we can find plenty tools for opening forgotten passwords
etc.

I have a small aplication wit large amount of data and I can not begin
with selling process with protection like that.

Is there some solution of problem and how I can protect my data???
or
How I can give MS Access data someone to use it, but without
possibilties to steal data.

Thanks in advance.

There are two levels of protection for an MSAccess database. User-level
which as you noted only keeps other MSAccess users from opening the data, to
System-level where you encrypt the file, which protects the file for other
viewers. The problem even with the latter is it, as you noted, depends on a
password that is relatively easy to find.

Completely securing MSAccess or a Jet database is next to impossible. It
might be good enough in a controlled situation (where you can control
user-permissions throught the OS), it is totally useless in the wild. But
then any file is going to have some kind of problem.

You probably need to provide more information concerning the scenario in
which you need to protect your data.
