Hi,
I have been working on some database protection, in which I am trying stop my tables from being able to be imported from other databases.
Does anyone know where I should start or even if it is at all possible?
All -
Just as the title describes, I can't seem to find a solution to be able to link the front-end to the back-end tables through the common file dialog when the backend is an accdb file that is password encrypted.
See the example attached. Here it should work just fine per the Article at :
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/181076
I've found it works fine without a password encrypted back-end but not with a password encrypted back-end.
Anyone have any ideas? It would be nice to use this feature in Access as well as automating the relinking.
Thanks!
I'm not good with access at all, i'm basically after removing all workgroup protection from a database file. I have full access to the file, admin passwords etc, i'm just having serious difficulty trying to find a tutorial or any information regarding how it can be removed!
View 2 Replies View RelatedHI ALL,
I have been working on some database protection techniques and have found floors in all of them.
Basically I have to protect a database not using the application password... which has a different password for each form. This means using form passwords ect... but all of them can be hacked by using the shift key on start-up does anyone know how to get around this as im stuck and could really do with another’s perspective.
Thanks in advance.
Hello guys
I was wondering if you can help?
Is it possible to password protect tables, forms and queries, how
Thanks a lot
how can I protect table from being edited or deleted?:)
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to know if there is any way to password protect a single query. I currently have a database and there are several users that have access to run queries but I need to have some security as others are making modifications to queries that they shouldn't be.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a set of command buttons on a form that open up a series of reports. The problem I have is that only certain users should have access to particular reports and I want to be able to put some kind of password protection in.
If anyone knows how to do this please let me know.
Thanks
Hi,
If i want to protect everything in the database how can i do that.
I dont want a password to open the database, and I only want users to be able to edit the records through my forms (without use of a password), but i dont want any1 being able to edit records manually, edit forms, or modules, however i do want them to be able to create and use macros and queries.
Thanks

Hello All,
I have created a management system for small home builders and contractors.
Typically these customers will have less than 25 users. So far I have installed it in a single customer’s site, but I want to expand.
I basically have two questions.
1. What is the best way to deliver this product without the end user needing Access?
2. How can I ensure they don’t make illegal copies and give to their friends or add user without purchasing more licenses?
Thank you all,
Joe
Hi all,
I've recently taken over a database that a collegue of mine was developing and he has disabled certain functions within the database which I can't enable. Specifically, he has disabled the ability to right click over anthing in design view so you can view the list of options available. Does anyone know how I can re-enable this feature?
Best Regards,

Hi
I have been called in by a client who had a db app put together (not very well). The original developers simply are doing nothing and the client is in despair. They have asked me to see if I can both correct the original bugs and also develop the database on.
The history is one of many unanswered phone calls and emails with the occasional promise that never gets anywhere. We spoke to the developer today who said they couldn't give the access code and then spoke to the other part of the duo who said he didn't have the code but would see if he can talk it out of the developer.
The client is a charity and like doing things the right way so I think that they will have played fair with the developer but it hasn't been reciprocated.
In exploring what they have I have been blocked by a password when I try to get into the VBA.
Is there any way to crack into this?
It would be helpful to know so that if the promised password does not materialise (and they were not holding their breath) do I tell them it is a no-hoper, or might I be able to work through?
The only alternative would appear to be to start from scratch but I suspect that would be financially too painful for them.
There is nothing earth shattering in what it does - even if it worked properly - and it is a small FE/BE database. I have full access to the BE but need to get into the code behind forms and modules to see where it is going wrong.
Any help or pointers would be most appreciated. I recognise the ethical issues but also sympathise with a client who has been shafted.
Best wishes
Hi,
I need some help creating a way for two different type of users to be redirected to different forms after entering a password.
I tried using the groups security in access but it's not good.
What I need the program to do is:
ask the user to enter a password. then if the password is correct and they are managers they will see the managers opening form ("form1") and if they are employees they will se a different opening form("form2") with less options and different reports.
thanks.
hey,
looking for help with protecting form designs in a database.
We have some people here with enough knowledge to be dangerous.
I need to password protect the design of forms while allowing access to the tables in ACCESS and data entry.

I have an old access 97 database that I can open with a user password, but cannot open as an administrator. I need to look at some development issues. My problem is that the vendor who wrote the database no longer exists to help me. Does anyone know how to strip off password so that I can examine this old database?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have set up a front screen which has linked buttons to other forms.
When I open up some of the forms (using the buttons) I would like them to be password protected.
I know tihs is probably really easy, but I cant get it sussed!!
Any help would be appreciated.

I have a small tracking Access DB at work that someone put a password on. No one seems to know the password. I'm wondering if there is a file that stores the password so that I can remove it so I can access the DB.
Thanks for you help!
Password Protection for E-mailed Access Report
Sorry this is a bit long winded but here goes - we have a very simple Access 2002 DB of 60 – 100 client records. It’s updated weekly and a report is then sent to a distribution list. In the past it was printed and faxed. As all on the list have e-mail I set up a macro to e-mail the .mdb to an Outook Distribution List. It works wonderfully and is much easier and faster. However - a couple of weeks ago one of the users complained saying we must password protect the data. Our Exchange Server is not yet set up to use certificates and Ditital IDs so I worked out the only way I can think of to p/w protect the file. The data is exported as an RTF. Once the user is in Outlook she opens the attachment and runs a macro in Word which :-
Saves the RTF as a DOC file (uses the same name each time)
Saves the DOC file with password protection
However the user reports that often it seems to link to the previous weeks data unless she deletes the attached file and opens the TEMP internet files folder, finds the correct week and attaches that.
Can anyone think of an easier and more foolproof way of doing this – is there something in Access I have missed?
Thanks for any help or advice – Dika
I am trying to set password protection on a combobox where there are only a few people who I want to be able to select their name to provide authorisation. I found the below code on a website and modified it slightly for my table (tbl_Approval) that contains two fields; Approver and Password. I can see how the code is supposed to work however I keep getting a syntax error (missing operator) in query expression on line: Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(sql).
Code:
Private Sub Approved_By_Enter()
Dim pwd As String
Dim rs As Object, rstable As Object, count As Integer, counter As_ Integer
Dim sql As String, recount As Integer
sql = "SELECT * " & "FROM [tbl_Approval] " & "WHERE [Approver]= " & Me.Approved_By
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(sql)

Hi everyone,
I have learnt so much here and I could do with some advise from all of you.
Recently I have developed a software using MS Access and I am in the process of getting Copyrights, Trademark rights for my software.
The software is to be distributed via the internet for personal use. However, I have been having serious concerns about people trying to reverse engineer the code and selling it under another name.
The last thing I would want is someone else making money off pawning this. Not only does it bring bad credibility but can really dent the business end for me.
Can anyone please suggest any way that I can block anybody from reverse engineering the code.
Also how can I make my program user specific and tamper proof??
Thanks and appreciate your help.
I would like to know if I can create a password protection on specific tables. Within my database, there are certain tables and/or reports to be view by a selective amount of personnel. Can I password protect just that view?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an Access 2010 form within my database in which I have a series of 8 tabs on a tab control. I am the only user who will have access to these tabs. I want to require a password in order to permit access to the tabs. The very first tab on the tab control works as a cover tab. There is no relevant information for anyone to view...only a graphic.
How to code the "on change" event of the tab control.

I created a tblcustomer/ tbljobs database for a charitable handyman service to record customer's details their multiple jobs and handyman. This worked fine until new reporting system was requested. and data protection issues were raised.
In order to differentiate between current active customers and old inactive customers in the database I used to flag in/active customers and this was okay.
Now I have been asked to remove personal identifying information from old customer records but still allow the customer id,sex,age,joindate,local authority and job types,dates,handyman,timetaken etc. to be analysed for regular reports.
I am wondering about using a history table updated by query that would keep all non identifiable active and inactive customer/job records used for reports seperate from the customer table used by the receptionist to book jobs and find customer info.
I could then use the history table to create reports on service use etc.
Can anybody tell me how to set this up. I have tried several ways but run into trouble when a deceased client is deleted from the active customer table I cannot get the history table to hold on to the info.

I'm trying to set up a simple query that links four tables. However, the tables are extremely large, all in excess of 1.5GB each so I had to split the tables up into four separate DBs. I've tried the following with no success:
1) Link the 4 tables in the DB which contains my primary key. This quickly inflates increases the file size above 2GB and won't let me go any further.
2) Build a remote query to connect the four tables. This looked promising until I tried to run the query and it became evident that it only knows to point to the last database source that you specified.
I'm running everything locally on my C drive. The data source are simple text files (1.6 million rows) from the FDA website.
