What's a "database password"? If you secure a database with a database
password, how secure is it?

About as weakly as you can imagine except for Access 2007 where I hear it has
been improved. How much improved I am not qualified to comment on.
 
Thank you. How do you create such a password?

When I try this it says it wants me to open the database for exculsive use.
How do I open the database for exclusive use?

The file open dialog should provide an option for shared or exclusive.
 
I'm not finding this. I'm using Access 2002. When I click on Open I get a
standard Windows popup.
 
....and then you select the file, and then beside 'Open' in the windows dialog, you'll see a drop-down - click it and choose Open Exclusive
 
I found it. Thanks. This seems to be a very simple security method. Is
there anyway to open the database if you forget (or don't have) the
password?
