ADO.. and mdb Files

[glennboy85]

I Delphi Connected correctly to the access database and everything set up including a few tables..

Now when .When You run the program and are distrubuting it about. It will need the mdb file. I have that all sorting but what i would like to know is

Wouldnt the User be able to modify the data in the mdb file if they have microsoft access?

Can you put a password on it (if how)(would you still be able to modify it in delphi if a password was set in access)
or the database Encypted it

Hi,


You can password protect the database in access by doing the following:

Tools --> Security --> Set Database Password...



This should keep the database safe if you're distributing, like you said, but I'm sure there could be better methods I can't think of

Hope this helps

Oops, missed a bit


No, the database can't be edited from Delphi if it is password protected (unless you login with the password using the ADO controls of course)
