Prevent copying of files.

Hi,
How do I prevent users from opening and copying files (related to the
project like access files, xml etc).
Regards,

well in short you can`t if you mean copying the physical file to another
place etc etc

if you mean with this securing the content then i can say yes partially you
can

you can create workgroup file secured / encrypted databases in access this
is pretty secure
you can encrypt your xml data , before writing it to a physical file , and
vice versa

With partially i mean there is never 100% safety ( how long took it before
the DVD standard was cracked ?? )
