    There are a series of articles that cover all aspects of securing an Access database as much as possible.
    Nothing will beat a determined hacker though.

    Hope you find my articles useful.

    Are you most concerned about trying to protect the data, your code or the database objects? The steps you may want to take will depend on the answer to that question

    OK. The first thing you should do is convert your files to ACCDE which will prevent anyone exporting or importing forms, reports and modules. It will also make the code inaccessible to others. However additional steps will also be useful. Suggest you also try out some of the example apps supplied with those articles

    However, no matter what steps you take, a skilled and determined hacker will be able to bypass most of the security ... if the application contains something important enough to them. What you can do is make it so difficult it isn't worth the effort
