VFP Table Security

[Mike TI]

Hi all

I am using VFP 9. My questions are:

Can you secure a VFP 9 tables from users opening them directory through VFP
or though some other tool like MS Access. Particularly I want to secure its
opening through MS Access.

Earlier I had tried using DBC events. Still a user can access the database
through earlier versions of VFP.

Thank you all in advance.

Hi Mike,

The only security for Fox data is Windows file server security and database
events. You could put some code in the database events to look for the
presence of your app but even this can be gotten around by a knowledgeable
user. If you need "real" security try SQL Server Express (free) or a full
version of SQL Server.

You could use something like NetLib Encryptionizer, expensive, but works well &
fast
