If you want real security, SQL Server can provide it, including the
free Express edition.

Yes. You can still run it, but not create it.

As far as I know, Access security is still available for MDB files created
in Access 2007, but not for the new ACCDB file format. You are supposed to
use the security provided by SharePoint or by the server database you are
using as a back-end. If you are using ACCDB as a back-end, no security is
supported.

In the past, I've worked on Access client applications, to which we applied
Access security, with server DB back ends, in which we applied the server
DB's security. Now, it seems, only the server's security can be used.

I have a split database which has some rudimentary security in place which prevents unauthorised users from double-clicking the data file and seeing anything worthwhile.

We are running an Access 2000 MDB with a SQL 7 back end. Our network guy is upgrading to Windows Server 2003 and wants to upgrade Office and SQL Server at the same time. We're moving to SQL Server 2005, and, since he already has licenses for Office Pro 2002, he wants to upgrade to that. I've been saying that we need to upgrade to Access 2003, not 2002, even if Office is kept at 2002. We are also looking to do a fair amount of...

Hello, a question for the MS Access community, from someone who programs with SQL in SQL2000. I currently create a table with varying column names and data within SQL2000. I then need to reproduce the same in a Access file DB. The normal functions available with SQL2000 such as OpenRowSet are good for Insert, Select etc., but not the simple "DDL" task of creating a table. Can another help/suggest ?
