Database security

[Guest]

Hello all. I am saving data collected using forms to a MS Acesss database on
the web server. I want to make sure that those visiting the site cannot
access the database. When I put the database files in the _private folder
the forms are not able to place data in the tables. What is the best way to
prevent unwanted access to the database while permitting access by the forms?

Thanks,
JHC

Import the database into your current open FP web / site and then let FP store the db in the fpdb
folder. This will allow FP to set the correct permissions on the database and folder so that it is
not accessible.
