You said, "Already had that discussion, about not storing CC nums etc and
encryption
but they still want to store the cc info anyway. I was asked if it was
possible to setup some sort of secure connection the DB. I haven't used
Access outside of simple proto-typing in a long time."

In the CF administrator when you add a datasource you can enter the
databases password but if someone had access to the registry they could get
that password in no time.

Also, I didn't say don't store cc's. I said if you have to store them at I
would at least encrypt them. Especially when it's easy. It only takes a few
minutes to implement encryption/decryption and can save you a heck of a lot
more time, money and hassle later (oh and lawsuits)..

That code I sent you in my last message works great and it would not take
more than a few minutes to implement. Maybe run that by them.

Anyhow, good luck.

Subject: Password Protecting an Access ODBC connection


A colleague asked if it is possible to password protect an ODBC connection
to an access database, but its been so long since I've used MS Access that
cant remember. Is this possible?
