Protect MS ACCESS DATABASE

I need some visual basic code or an application to lock a .mdb file so
that any copy of this won't work in another PC.,unless i give the right
password.
I need to protect it so that in somehow the application should read the
s/n of the PC - or hard disk and works only on that. the next time it
will be copied in another pc it won't work,unless i give the right
password or s/n generated, since it would have hold the s/n or unique
id of the previous PC or it's hard disk.

Thanks in advance.

Oh, gimme a break. If you're gonna act like that, pay someone to write
it. Otherwise, surf around, get some ideas and try it. Did you look
at Tony Toews' site?
Or www.mvps.org/vbnet?

Get off your arse and help yourself. Then ask for help if you're still
stuck.
