Secure ODBC Over Internet
Apr 11, 2008Hello All,
I was wondering if it is possible to connect a MS Access front end to a MS SQL server on the internet in a secure way through ODBC or some other means.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

Secure The BE DB
Apr 9, 2008Hi
I have split my DB, FE & BE. The BE is located on a network drive and the FE is located on several local network drives for staff to use. Once I created a password for the BE, the main form would not open for the user on the FE. How can I secure the BE so the data can't be opened.
Thankyou

How To Secure My BE?
Mar 14, 2008Hi guys,
I am finding a way to secure my BE on the server, sooner or later they will find a way to extract information w/o the use of my application and will cause more problems.
I tried to put a PW on the BE but everytime I connect on the BE it prompts me a PW, sorry I am a newbie.
your help is much appreciated.
Thanks.
Secure Database
Mar 1, 2006I would like to secure my database (ha ha...at least to some extent).
Here is the basics...
When someone comes into the database I can identify them as they enter by using "Environ("username"), this gives me a unique number for that user ("R54436") (I am on a system called "Citrix" with FE/BE) and from there I would like to:
1.) let them in or not let them in
2.) direct them to particular areas based on who they are
3.) deny access to certain areas all together
I have a table in which I have all users "R" number along with name, user level (1,2 or 3) and the branch office number and can add other info if needed.
I have a form that loads before anything else (invisible) that captures the users "R" number.
I guess I am just not sure how to compare the "R" number that I capture on the invisible form with the "R" numbers in my table. Ultimately once I find a match I would like to populate the invisible form with that users values from the table so I can reference those values throughout their vistit.
Any pointers would be great.
Secure A Single DB
Sep 11, 2006Hey
I am looking for a way to secure a single DB. I would like to be able to use the DB on other PC, but still have user control.
I have found that when using the MS Access User and Ground way will only secure DB's used on the PC it was set on. If i take the DB to my home PC i am not promted for a Password and i can go mad with information i would like to protect.
Am i doing something wrong when setting the security? :confused:

Backend Isn't Quite Secure
Apr 27, 2007Hi all.
I know Access security has been discussed ad nauseum in these forums and that there is a wealth of information in the archives, nearly all of which I have read often.
And I have a small question.
For years I produced applications which didn't need tight security. However, I tried to stay well informed on the matter.
Security is important in this project. I secured a database properly, as well as I can determine. I then made a copy and deleted all the tables in the one which will be the frontend and linked to the tables in the copy which will be the backend. Only Groups had permissions, individual Users, none. Life was good.
Then I did something, not sure exactly what. The end result is that the frontend seems fine; I cannot open it unless attached via the .mdw I created specifically for this project.
The backend, however, I can open even when attached to the system default .mdw.
Can anyone tell me what I've likely done, and how I might nail down the backend once again?

How To Secure Application ?
Oct 3, 2006I'm almost finished software, and I have to deploy now.
I'm wondering, what is the best way to secure software ?
Is MDE secure enough ?
Or, is it possible, just like in VB , to create "dll" file, and to put code in dll file,
and call it from forms, reports ?
thanks in adv
Need Help To Secure My Queries And Reports
Jul 21, 2005I have already used the option in the 'Startup...' menu so that the user only sees the database window with the tables, queries and reports etc. But the user can still press the 'Design button' in the database window. And especially for my queries and reports that would be a problem if they altered things in there by accident.
Is there a way to secure this? Can I hide the queries but still let the user access one table and the reports?
I have tried to search for answers and the runtime command removes everything so that nothing is visible :p
Hope You can help :)

View 6 Replies View RelatedTransferring A Secure Database
Nov 6, 2004My program is finally complete, much thanks to everyone here that helped me!
Here's (hopefully) my final issue:
I haven't actually tested this yet to see if it's an actual issue, but I assume it might be. The program i just built needs to be transferred to my client's computer. currently my program consists of three files: PROGRAM.mdb (interface), DATA.mdb (linked tables), PROGRAM.mdw (security file). they are in their own separate folder (C:Program) and play nicely together. i'm concerned because i think that once i zip it up and email it over, when my client unzips it into a folder on his hard drive (named c:program so he doesn't have to re-link them), it might not work because of the .mdw file. if anyone recalls my thread entitled "H E L P ! ! ! !" you see why I'm concerned.
should this just run without a problem, or do i need to have him do all sorts of steps to reassemble the program?
usual lifesavers? i love you guys
Thanks

How To Bypass Shift Key And Secure Your Database
Aug 14, 2005I just post this one because it took me more than an hour to find a comfortable solution for access 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;826765
To set the AllowBypassKey property to False, follow these steps: 1. Start Access.
2. Open an Access database project.
3. In the Database window, point to Macro on the Tools menu, and then click Visual Basic Editor.
4. In the Visual Basic Editor, click Immediate Window on the View menu.
5. Type the following code or paste the following code in the Immediate window, and then press ENTER.CurrentProject.Properties.Add "AllowBypassKey", False
6. Close the Visual Basic Editor, and then close the Access database project.
7. Open the Access database project. Try to bypass the startup options that are set for the Access database project by holding down the SHIFT key while you open the Access database project.
The functionality of the SHIFT key that permits you to bypass the startup option is disabled. Although you hold down the SHIFT key to bypass the startup options, the startup options are executed. You cannot bypass the startup options.

Users Cannot Access Secure Database
Jun 2, 2015This morning I accidently ran the "User-Level security wizard" on a secure database that we use. I meant to add a member but clicked the wrong thing and followed suite by hitting "Finish" instead of cancel because I wasn't paying attention. Aside from creating a "Security.mdw" file which isn't being used at all, it also somehow managed to lock everyone but the administrator out.
I checked the Users/Groups and Permissions, they are all there and correct, nothing seems to have been changed at all but when anyone tries to log in now they get the following error:"You do not have the necessary permissions to use the '...mdb' object. Have your system administrator or the person who created this object establish the appropriate permissions for you."
I've read some posts with similarish issues that recommended recreating the .mdw file and importing the data over. The file is encrypted so I wasn't able to do that but I did try making a copy and renaming it then changing the path in the Access shortcut to the copy instead. What all files/settings handle this and if the Users/Groups show up correctly in the database, what could be preventing the users from getting in?
Db On Internet
Jun 7, 2006I have a database which is being used for maintaining documents status. Its working fine in stand alone PC. I want to share it on internet. But problem is, I can upload the complete file, then download and use. Its not updated.
So is there any way to upload this db onto internet and work there only the way we do in single PC?
Keep Database Secure By Disallowing External Import
Nov 1, 2005I've made an access project (ade) and stored the admin with password in the ade file.
When I open a new database I can use the import feature to import all tables with definitions and data from the ade file. All other objects are being locked.
How can i disallow tables from my mde to be imported into another access application?
General :: How To Secure Data In Separate ACCDB
Jan 27, 2015I'm building an application in MS Access 2010.
This application must be able to read from a big table in a separate accdb.
This separate accdb contains info that should NOT be available for all my users to copy, as it is valuable competitive information that could be abused by people with bad intentions. So, a linked table solution is not an option.
However, it should be possible to run parameterized queries that do simple look-ups that return only small/relevant portions of the database.
SQL Back End / Access Front End - How To Secure Data
Oct 2, 2014How to secure SQL data when my MS Access database must access it using linked tables. Generally speaking on the Internet, assertions that migrating to SQL is more "secure" are rampant; explanations of just how that is are scarce.
Sure I can restrict access and put different roles on different tables, then put different people in those roles, but that doesn't really do me any good. Ultimately I want to achieve the following: Allow them to do all kinds of stuff (including Update, Delete, Insert) using my access application, but I would NOT want them to have those same rights if they installed SQL Server Management Studio, or for that matter, simply created an ODBC connection using another access or excel application.
In other words, ideally, I'd like to have SQL server view my Access application as a user in its own right. Not sure if that type of impersonation or identity is possible to achieve.
Internet Database?
Jan 3, 2006Hey, I am currently designing a database for my group of friends. Things such as ,Name, Age, Musical Instrument, Band (of which they play in), Favourite Band etc. would be in there indefinately.Its not a complex Db and so I was hoping to put it on my website but dont know how i would do this...I would like it to be on the internet as if you were just looking at it on your own computer and webmaster could edit any fields after it is finished. Is there anyway of doing this? If yes is there any way of doing this without the viewer having to download the Db?

Getting Access On To The Internet??
Mar 14, 2008I have created an access database for work. Due to the size(70MB) of the database our internal network appears to have difficulty executing any queries or has long delays. I dont think the size is the issue, however I am now looking for ways to place on "internet" page but only want users to run the reports off control buttons /macros of the forms view not see the tables or query design. Any suggestions of best to approach this, Also any input about "project" or "ADP" woud, be very useful, thanks Andy

Internet Synchronization Error
May 23, 2007I have an Access 2002 database (about 120mb) which was replicated using Replication Manager (version unknown). It is set up to use Internet Synchronization. We use it on state government LAN and WAN as well as the Internet. It works well in most cases, but on a few computers we get the error "Http address not found" when synchronization is attempted. The address is indeed visible to those computers. We have determined that reloading Windows (XP Pro) will usually solve the problem at least for a while but when GIS mapping software is installed it reappears. More worrisome is that some brand new laptops with factory-installed Windows are showing the same problem, which means it could get worse as we upgrade equipment.
Has anyone else encountered this error?
Transfer Data Over The Internet
