Restricting File Copy

[Parviz Shahriari]

Hi all,

Is there any way to stop a user from copying the front end of an Access
database, while still allowing him to use it. I.e. give him read/write
priviledges, but prevent him from using his write priviledge to copy the
whole file anywhere.

Thanks

Hi

Sorry, if he has read access, he can copy it...

No. However, if one has a web capability one could=20
by defining a web-based front-end and controlling=20
the ability to directly read the mdb file via the webserver.
