Hi,
You can set a database password on your Microsoft Access database file.
Then have your application open the file using similar methods in the
following article:

Databases

| I have an access Database and an Application that uses this database. The
database is stored on a server and it is accessible to the client
applications through a mapped network drive. I want to prevent users
opening the database directly through network drive.
Is it possible to set a password in Access where (Users need to be prompted
for opening the Access Database and changing data, where as the Application
does not require a password for reading and writing data into the tables).
Thanks in advance.
