Data encryption for MS ACCESS

[Prasanth P]

Hello Everybody,

Do anybody have a solution to encrypt data stored in an MS ACCESS database
,so that the data can be viewed /edited or deleted only through an
application and in the data is viewed directly,it should be in an unusable
format.


Thansk in advance,

Implement Access security on the database. Get the Security White
Paper from Microsoft (of download SECFAQ2K.ZIP from the CompuServe
library in my .sig); read it CAREFULLY, *twice*, and secure the
database. Among other things this encrypts the database.

The security can be broken with considerable effort, but it will keep
out all but the determined and knowledgable hacker.
