With access that's about as good as you get.  You can always put a password
on the DB as well.  But that is truly trivial to crack once you get the
mdb.

Subject: database security


Hi

I'm working with a database programmer (in access) who is paranoid about 
his databases.

He is very worried about the security of his database.

Currently I store the database in a non-web-accessible directory on a 
shared server, but that's it.

Is there anything else I can reasonably do? (the website is being done 
quite cheaply)

I have read some articles on security but they all seem to focus on 
encrypting a string rather than actually protecting the database as such.

Any clues please??
