To prevent copying the objects of the access databaseI have created one bibliographic database using Access 2003 in support of my
Ph D thesis. I have to send this for evluation during submission of the thesis. So I need to provide ultimate security to the database. For this purpose I want to prevent any mode of copying the objects of the database. Even I dont want to show the database window as I designed start up form. What should I do. With best regards, -- nandini On Sat, 6 Dec 2008 04:31:00 -0800, Nandini

Check out this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa167800.aspx I've even setup a combination runtime and workgroup line in a shortcut to my dbase to allow for security and to prevent people from doing anything except what I show/allow them to. By the way, I agree on the freedom of wisdom, but I also understand the PhD Thesis part as well. Unfortunately, we do have people in this world who don't know how to give credit when using someone else's wisdom. Good luck on the thesis.

in the shortcut really does nothing, since they can always open the application without your shortcut. Any protection you're getting is due only to your use of a workgroup, which implies that you have implemented User-Level Security. -- Show quoteHide quoteDoug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no private e-mails, please) "CorporateQAinTX" <CorporateQAi***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:FFD98A20-8CDC-4455-B19C-7CB8F9F1DF99@microsoft.com... > What about using /runtime access? > Check out this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa167800.aspx > > I've even setup a combination runtime and workgroup line in a shortcut to > my > dbase to allow for security and to prevent people from doing anything > except > what I show/allow them to. > > By the way, I agree on the freedom of wisdom, but I also understand the > PhD > Thesis part as well.

Definately make sure you keep a copy of your db somewhere
safe without any of the securities on it. I thought I could get away without doing that and it cost me over a 3 month's worth of work when I couldn't access the db because I forgot my password a month later.
