Hello !
I am distributing one application using MS Access. As for its security,
I am thinking this way:
1. For end-users, they can interact with the application throght the
custom menu items provided. They have no access to the tables directly.
2. A developer can have have full access to its tables for setting,
correcting data.
Questions:
1. Do I have to use a user-login system ? If yes, can I set an end-user
to login without a password ?
2. From Q1, I suppose that as a developer I have to furnish a password
to access the tables !?
Thanks for any suggestion.

The built-in user-level security will require a user name to be supplied
but the password can be blank. User name and password can be supplied as
command line switches.
2. From Q1, I suppose that as a developer I have to furnish a password
to access the tables !?
No, any password can be left blank (with obvious implications).
I thoroughly recommend that you read the MS KB article on security:

There's also a step-by-step example on my web site. Always work on a copy
of your files.

Hello Folks,
I have a programming dilemma with templates and "genericity". I can
think of a few solutions, but I am not sure which one is the best in
terms of genetic C++ style. Any suggestions will be greatly
appreciated.
I am writing a template class Polynomial that encapsulates the
functionalities of a Polynomial. Here is a rough sketch for the class:

Here's a cross-posted version. Please disregard the other one.
Is there a way to create and encrypted database file?
What do people do when data security is important at the file level? In
other words, you don't want anyone to be able to take the database file (or
files) and extract data from them.

Hi,
I'm working on a site where the user must log in before they see the
home page.
When the user logs in, I retrieve their role from the database, store
it in a Session object and redirect to the homepage. The home page
contains a navigation menu (user control) which displays links
available to the user based on their role. The navigation menu/links
are generated from the database.

Hello,
MSDN (amongst other places) is full of helpful advice on ways to do data
access, but they all seem geared to wards enterprise applications. Maybe
I'm in a minority, but I don't have those sorts of clients. Mine are all
small businesses whose sites will never reach those sorts of scales. I
deal with businesses whose sites get maybe a few hundred visitors per
day (some not even that much) and get no more than ten orders per day....

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
