    Default Password protecting Access DB

    I have an access db running on an internal 2003 server.

    It is used for intranet purposes, but is restricted by a login page

    How can I secure the access db so people cannot open the access database if they stumble upon it on the server?

    Thanks,

    Stephen

    Putting password to the DB is not googd way because there is some hacking tools that gets the msaccess password in just 1 second.

    Encryting data is one way (I know nothing how to do it)

    it is good way to protect your server loging password and/or manage the folder security where is db is. Nobody can view it (I hope)

    Im not sure how you do it, but normally done from within Access itself. Im pretty sure a long and tough password can't be "cracked" by the password recovery tools out there.
