Nope, not really. However, in order to copy something from your computer
they would need to be able to log in to the computer, or have you have a
share set up where they can get the files. If your db is on your computer
and you've set up a folder with only permissions where you can get to then
that can also keep them out. But that isn't necessarily foolproof either.

If you keep the application separate from the data file and in
separate folder that should at least protect your data in case
somebody copy the application. The solution is to keep the data file
in a separate database and use linked tables in the application.
