Hi.

Is setting up database password secure enough ??

The answer depends upon your definition of "secure enough." In most cases,
the answer is no.

Can it be broken easily ???
Yes.

if yes how ???

Clients who pay us don't get instructions on how to break Access security.
You won't get these instructions, either.

Do you need wrkgrp ???

User-level security (using a secure workgroup information file) is much
better than shared-level security, but it can be broken, too.

HTH.

Hi,

(sorry for cross posting to access.modulesdaovba group)

I developed an application in Access about 2 years ago in which I protected
the VBA modules with the password. I now have to go back and modify the VBA
code, but have forgotten the password (daft....I know).

I have all the source files (ACMs, ACQs, ACSs, etc) and was wondering if I
could dig out the password from somewhere in those.

Otherwise, my only other option is to build a new database application
importing all the source code, tables, queries, etc.

Please tell me there is an easier way....

Thanks

Mauro
