Hi,
In the VB projects that use Access Databases, its found that the user is able to access the database directly (manually) ie by reaching the file and double clicking it open.
But, what all can i do to prevent the user from directly accessing and using the database? What are the options to do it?

Jump to PostYou can put a password on the database file so you can't just double click to open it.
Then you would provide the password in your Connection string in VB6 (when connecting to the database) using PWD:flibble (if your password is flibble, that is...)
Jump to PostNot really - you can't really secure an Access file much other than that. Unless you use some sort of Windows directory access and use the front end under a different user which has permissions to the database path which your usual user does not (hope I've made myself clear?) …
