Securing .mdb on a network

Hallo,

I secured an Access database (2000) according to 'the book' so that it won't
open with a default .mdw on another computer! So far, it looks fine.
But If I try to secure the map that contains the .mdw file I fail to set the
right permissions so that the employee do not open the map or at least not be
able to copy the .mdw to another location, yet be able to open the database.
Is this possible? Help!

I'm not sure what you mean by 'map'. Do you mean the folder where the mdw
file is? Users need read/write/create/delete permissions on the folder in
order to be able to create/delete the associated ldb file. The best you can
do is to hide it \\server\share$ rather than \\server\share . However that
won't stop them if they know the path.
