Hi,

Your post looks like you are asking for help to defeat security features on what looks like very personal and private data (savings accounts). If I'm wrong, someone will correct me, but this forum is for helping people to achieve what might be called more acceptable goals than breaking protection on data that you possibly have no right to view. I for one, will not even download your posted db for that reason, nor offer any suggestions on how to break in.

If you have legitimate and rightful reasons for wanting to do so, perhaps you can hire someone who would help. That's my take on this, for whatever it's worth.

This is sample database - free source from internet. Everybody can download it.

This is small database and i want to see relationships only.

When you are creating model you are securing it. You are turning off options, command bar end so on.
I am sking it is possible to return them back?

Best,
Jacek

You made it sound like you were trying to crack someone else's personal database.
Mentioning the use of a hex editor wasn't helpful
Micron's comments were perfectly valid.
I had heard of this example before which is the only reason I opened it.

A word of advice. When you download something from a public site, give a link to the source. In this case https://access-templates.com/
It's taken me less than a minute to get to the tables and relationships. There is no code.
I didn't use a hex editor. Just standard Access procedures that are widely known.

Suggest you contact the site direct if you don't know how to do this yourself
However, for this template, the site states unlocked version is only available for members. Suggest you join! Apparently 'ONLY' $88 per year!

Hi,

thank you ridders.

It's taken me less than a minute to get to the tables and relationships. There is no code.

Can you send me a link or give a hint what are these procedures? I am interested of securing Access like that.

I would leave this example - i do not care
I am curious how to secure front-end like here.

There is no buttons and options...

Thank you ridders.

I thought that this is some code or something.

Code can be used but isn't needed here.

However I'm not encouraging you to 'hack' the template supplied.
I am rather surprised it's not locked down properly

ridders52,

do not afraid - i do not want to use it in bad purposes I am good citizen

Where can i find code to secure Access?

Best,
Jacek

Use Google.
Start by reading this https://support.office.com/en-us/art...0-5E1C68F5ADCE

Then look for ways of preventing users undoing the security you add.
No Access app can ever be 100% secure against a capable but determined hacker.

This current thread may help https://www.accessforums.net/showthread.php?t=73182

I've done several threads on database security in another forum. Some supplying code. Others written as security challenges.
Look in https://www.access-programmers.co.uk...splay.php?f=64
