A friend needs a method to protect a sensitive database from his
employees and others.  He's using FileMaker II, and wants the following
capabilities:

	1) Limit the ability to print database records to only
	   those individuals who have the password necessary to
	   activate the printing function.  This would probably be
	   some installed(able) function of FileMaker II.

	2) Have the ability to somehow protect a file on the hard disk
	   from being copied to floppies. I have already tried setting
	   the "No Copy" attribute (using DiskTools II) -- this
	   doesn't seem to do the trick, as the file can still be
	   dragged to a floppy.

If any netters out there have suggestions for ways to protect
database information (short of switching to another database program
(:)), we'd be happy to hear about them.  Please email to the return
address -- if there's sufficient response, I'll summarize and post the
results.
