    You have to open database in exclusive mode.

    Here is that problem solved step by step:

    Like drvo said, you have to first open the database in Exclusive mode. Then you will find the option to Encrypt your database. It would look like the attached image.

    You can change the method of encryption from Info -> Options -> Client Settings -> Encryption Method

    New information

    This database is a published database on a sharepoint site. I think this is why it can't be encrypted. So how can I keep clients from opening the database. I want them to only see the forms.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
