Does anyone know the encryption level Access 2007 uses when
you use the Encrypt Database feature?
Thanks.

This from http://databases.about.com/od/productinfo/a/encryption.htm:

Access 2007 uses the Microsoft Cryptographic API. This means that it will support any cryptographic algorithm available
within Windows as a Cryptographic Service Provider (CSP). This is a great improvement over earlier versions of Access,
which only supported a built-in, weak encryption algorithm.

I was unable to verify this on the MS website, however.
