MDB Design Protection

N

I currently have designed an extensive Program using
access as a platform to host it. The front end requires
user login and password to access, and the back end
consist of dozens of MDE databases. The front end is
also being utilized as an MDE. The MDB of all are stored
on a remote server which only I the administrator can
access, and is backed up on CD as well. The database has
a self-protection i built into it, which detects my log-
in. If my login is not sensed within the last 72 hours,
the program ceases to run, and denys all logins, and
shuts itself down. Only my login can initiate the system
override and re-activation for the next 72 hour cycle.
So in other words if i drop dead or get laid off, the
program is rendered useless. My main concern is someone
being able to reconstruct the program or rewrite some of
the macros from an MDE....is it possible if only the MDE
is available? By the way, all the admin forms, macros,
etc. are set up to allow run or read only to all users
but myself. My login only allows design changes even in
the MDB. Let me know if my protection can be over
ridden or undone. Thanks

I can't imagine why you'd want that extensive of protection on an Access
program, but if I were assigned to deal with the mess created by your
unfortunate demise, I think the first thing I would do would be to Google on
something like Access password cracker.
