Secure db without Access security?

E

Eric G

I have a db that I'm considering demoing and leaving at a potential
client.
Is it possible to set it up so that it can be used/demoed but none of
the code be viewed/accessed?

The db doesn't use Access security.

What would all of my options be?

TIA Eric

You might want to consider delivering your demo as an MDE file, which will
strip out all code and remove the capability to make design changes to
Queries, Forms, Reports, Macros and Modules. In addition, MVP Tony Toews
has some suggestions about "securitizing" demo databases at:

Thanks for the tips!
I changed my db into an .mde file.
Hopefully that will be sufficient to protect the app for the time
being.
