Protecting my work..

Hi,

How do I go about protecting my access database so that..

1) Nobody can edit any forms (reason being so nobody can remove the txt box
that states who developed it, change it to their name and sell it)
2) Nobody can view the VBA code.

Any help would be much appreciated...T hank You...

Tools -> Database Utilities -> Make MDE file.

Distribute the MDE file, keep the MDB for yourself (do not get rid of this).

- in autoexec
Not F_StartUp() Quit
... StopAllMacros

- In F_StartUp()
- If UCASE(CurrentUs er()) = "ADMIN" or your programmer login then
= false
else
= true
endif

- In form / Report on open, check to see if the user is allowed to open

- encrypt the MDB(s)

- make a copy of the program MDB

- make an MDE from the copy of the program MDB

- proper security

Hi pythonistas, I am looking for methods of deploying applications with end users so that the python code is tamper proof. What are my options ?

I read Aaron's article: http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2276 re: protecting images from linked to by other sites.

It was my understanding that if the client sees it, then it's in the client cache. Am I wrong in this belief or not? I took the information in the article and created the .asp that...

Dear all, I've got a security question that is so difficult that "maybe" there will be no answer for it. It's regarding protecting asp code. I did write some asp code, that I sell to companies, to control several dbases. Because I sell the code, it's not that they own the code and can sell it further or change the code, or add some extra code to it. It's like I'm selling a program like Excel and that they can use the program, not...

hi..I'm working on a project that requires files to be password protected on a UNIX based site. The people that own the web site want to be able to change the password every so often. Unfortunately, I have restricted access only to FTP so I really can't log in to any kind of Administrative Console or Admin Panel and see if there are folders that can be password protected and then have passwords changed on them. The people I'm contracted...

Hi. I have a folder that contains a lot of different documents. xls, .doc, .pdf etc. Different users have access to different documents. The problem is that if a user knows the name of a document then he can just write the path into IE and get access to it anyway. Is it possible to prevent this? Thanks, Shawn

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
