How to make database (program) more secure?

[Marco Simone]

Hi,

I have few questions, if someone can answer please:
1. Is it possible to make .exe file with Office Developer?
2. How to make database more secure, not only to have password for opening
database, but to make additional protection, like with serial number of hard
disk, so that someone can't copy database on his computer?

Thanks in advance,
Marco

No. You can create a "standalone" version by deploying your database with
the runtime version of Access, but that's as close as you'll get.

2. How to make database more secure, not only to have password for opening

You're talking about copy protection ... this has been hashed and rehashed
.... google for "ms access copy protection" and check out these:
