I want to use a hardware key on an ms access db. therefore I need to bee able to protect the form(s) that check the key. However my user do need design access to all other forms. Making an mde doesn't seem the solution because I can't ad other forms or reports that must be allowed to get in design mode. How can I do that ? Please mail to Rudy.truyens@pastrilux.com 1000 x thanks !

Also understand that if you ship your app unprotected except for this one form, and this form's only purpose is to check for the key, some clients may be tempted to adjust the rest of the code to bypass your form. -Tom. >I want to use a hardware key on an ms access db. therefore I need to bee >able to protect the form(s) that check the key.

And some potential clients may have a policy of having absolutely nothing to do with any application that requires a hardware key! 1) Despite the assurances of the manufacturers to the contrary, they _do_ interfere with normal use of the parallel port. 2) As I write I have about eight applications running. Imagine the mess if each of those applications required a hardware key! -- Brendan Reynolds brenreyn@indigo.ie Tom van Stiphout wrote in message <37553b5c.2405799@news.syspac.com>... >On Wed, 2 Jun 1999 11:55:41 +0200, "Rudy Truyens" ><rudy.truyens@pastrilux.com> wrote: > >It is certainly possible, but security is a rather advanced topic. >Download, read, study, and fully understand the Access Security >Whitepaper from microsoft.com. > >Also understand that if you ship your app unprotected except for this >one form, and this form's only purpose is to check for the key, some >clients may be tempted to adjust the rest of the code to bypass your >form. > >-Tom. > >>I want to use a hardware key on an ms access db. therefore I need to bee >>able to protect the form(s) that check the key.
