Hi

I'm currently writing a program that uses Interbase as the database engine.
The database will be distributed with the application to the users. The
users can ONLY access the data via the application interface. Is it possible
to encrypt the GDB (Database) file that contains the application data?? This
is needed because I've notice that if you take the database file and copy it
to a different Interbase Server and you attach the Database file, then you
bypass all the security settings that was setup in the original Interbase
server.

Can anyone please help me or give me suggestions?

Regards,
Adriaan
