Prevent importing my db files to other dbs in mdb format?

17 New Member
Hello everybody. Let me ask u a question.
I would like to know if there's a way (vb code etc) to prevent someone for importing my database's files (table, forms, report, queries etc) to his own or to a new database, without having to convert my database to .mde. Do u know a way to do that?

Hi

Setting a password should block unauthorised access to all the objects. If you don't want to do that because users need free access, perhaps split it into front end / back end and password protect the back end. If you want to block authorised users from easily accessing the databse window, look at disabling the bypass keys (google DisableBypassKe y). But ultimately you may need to use mde's.

The way you have mentioned is no usefull because if i protect the back end of database with password, the forms of front end are not working, reporting that "Not a valid password" without ask me to put it. Is there any other way to stop my database for letting other databases to take my files ?

Hi there, I'm trying to import a csv file into my MySQL database. Unfortunately the number format for the price column is formatted in German style, i.e. XX,XX (decimals separated by comma not by dot). When importing this file using LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE the decimals are cut off. I'm using column type FLOAT for the price column in my database. Is there any chance to preserve the decimals when importing the csv file into my database...

Hello, I am importing a file using BCP, with a format file. It is a fixed-width file, which I am importing into a table that has a column for each field in the file.

In one of my files I have six records that contain strange characters (ascii codes of 03 and 02 if I am...

What's the big deal with importing text files? I have a 70 MB file to import and it's been one problem after another. I used the copy command and it appears that it's just not possible. I finally massaged the file into a .sql file and ran that using \i db.sql but that failed too because I overlooked ' in names like D'Adario. The other problem I encountered was that a numeric field had to have data in it, pg would not default to the...
