Dear Sir/Madam



I need you urgent help! or any good idea suggest for me to protect my job (not easy to take from other people?)

1. How to protect my access database. That is can i only let my boss to use ONLY and not see the struture / table relationship?

2. That i can use access table to call file form my computer desktop outside folder. Can i set the limit time for outside folder?(for example 3 days, after 3 days
then the folder will damage or not exist? can i do that?

3. can i set the password and after some days(for example 2days). they cannot go into my access database?

4. can i make my access database only for use only, cannot copy and can i set the life time for my access database (for example maybe 2 days,
the access database cannot open. )

Thanks
Tom

Make it a mde or accdb. Password protect the form.Yes you can set the time limit via a timer, assuming the db does not close and so forth.Set time limit on user, then remove access rights by code, yes, it can be done. Hide tables, queries.Include a password for you back end if it is split. Do some googling on this, the info is there.

What kind of business is it where you are protecting the database structure from the person who is paying for its development?
What do you do when someone, who has the authority to fire you on the spot, asks to see the detail?

That's funny! He is trying to apply the golden rule, cover thy butt! Good luck with that plan!
