How can I prevent my database from being distributed freely? For example,
currently I have a registration form within the database. Once someone
enters their name and company, it takes the current database location and
stores it within the database properties.

However, I rather use the registry for more security. How can I (maybe send
me the code please) have MS Access check to see if a certain registry entry
exists and what it's value is?

What Visual Basic code would add a key to local machine / software / (my
database name) ?

What Visual Basic code would add a string value?

And how do I check and edit these entries?

Of course, if there is any better distribution or security protection other
than Windows-based user permissions, I would like to know about it. I
disable the bypasskey on my database and set all the startup goodies. I also
make it an MDE.

Thanks in advance. Sorry if there are a lot of questions
-Kevin
