so
is it still possible to retrive the password by using tools like
Accesspassword recovery as
in older versions ?
(which leaves a critical security hole
even if access security /windows is configured .
giving the only option to switch to other RDBMS.)
To secure data from USERS don't store it in an Access file.

A gentleman called Brent Spaulding and I had a long discussion on this
over at UtterAccess.com and came up with what we think is a decent way of
securing data from users in Access 2007 files (as in accdb/e files, not
mdb/e files). However, despite the thread being viewed over 3000 times,
only one other person tried it out :-(.
I would be most interested in you opinion if you had the chance to have a
look. I summarised the discussion in a PDF file which you can get at

That's true of any file. If someone wants data and they know
enough and try hard enough, they will get it, assuming that they
don't get caught trying first. But that is relative. It is easier
with Access than Oracle, or SQL-Server, but not impossible with
either. Data stolen from ChoicePoint and credit card processors
have proven that. Once data can be stored locally, it is not
secure at all. Laptops stolen from Wells Fargo, the VA, and many
other sources proved that this year.
