Use the Access Working Group tool to define a workgroup such as: MyownAccess, add a user such as: Myself, log in with this user, then put the old database, define all the features only give my Myself alone, so that other users do not have any permissions. Then pack the working group file, modify the statement to connect the Access database, such as: driver = Microsoft Access Driver (* .mdb); uid = 20010202; usercommitsync = yes; "&" systemdb = "& app.path &" / syslog DBQ = "& mdbpathname &"; pwd = 54839202 "Syslog is an Access Working Group file after the rename. As long as you set your password, you can prevent someone from being opened.
