Simple..... stick it outside of the website root.
For example, if your setup is along the lines of;
\htdocs\your_website
\logs
\private
Place the MDB file inside the Private folder. This is out of reach of
internet users, and is still accessible to your applications.
When placing the file outside of the root, you will need to modifiy the path
to something along the lines of;
TheDB = "..\..\Private\TheDB.mdb"

Hello
how can you protect the .mdb that an asp page modifies?
This must be open to all for modifications right?
But how can it be hidden so people can't just download it if they guess
the path?
Thanks
