It depends on how strong you want that protection to be. In one case I
wrote an AutoExec macro in the back-end database, with a:
Msgbox "Yo! You shouldn't be here. This db is only for use with the
XYZ app"
DoCmd.Quit
and that helped a lot. But it's not foolproof, of course.
Also, in many jurisdictions the data belongs to the owner/licensee of
the app, and you as the manufacturer of the app do not have the right
to make that data unavailable.

Hi.
Is there anyway to prevent an accdb from being opened in Access or any other
application, other than the one it's intended for??
I know i can password protect the file, but that is almost a joke, since i
can download 1000 different tools that recover that password for anyone to
use. Encryption seem also not to be the answer, since access still can open
the darn thing..
All i want is for tha database not to be able to opened other than with the
C# appz i'm coding to use it... It that possible or do i have to use my own
data encryption and leave the file open to look at the garble-de-gook of
encrypted data left in the file, only my appz can decrypt before use...
