Hi All

Just a quickie (I think), when I encrypt my db what pluses and minuses am I
getting from doing this?

Does it stop users from figuring out the password?

Does it stop them from seeing content when they open up the db in a text
editor?

Would they actually know it was an access db as I'm thinking of changing the
suffix

Is there a performance hit when accessing the db from a vb/ado/odbc
connection?

Thanks
