Establishing security for your Microsoft Access database file (.mdb) or project file (.adp) protects intellectual property such as your solution's structure and programming code. It also prevents your solution's users from inadvertently changing object designs or code in a way that would cause your solution to stop working. If your .mdb file also contains data, establishing security protects sensitive data regardless of what program is used to access your database file. This chapter discusses techniques you can use to secure your Access solution.
