    How to protect back end data from direct access?

    Hi Guys,



    My application is almost ready and I thing it's the highest time to think how can I protect my back end db from direct access. I will divide it into 2 things:
    - how to restrain users from opening back end file directly? I mean if they located the file's path, they could open it and edit tables directly. I don't like that.
    - how to restrain users from opening back end through front end's object bar? I know I can hide it in database options, but it quite easy to show the bar again.

    add a macro called autoexec in the backend that shuts down the db.
    docmd.quit

    otherwise there not a lot to do except hide it.

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