Well, it even says there that it doesn't work on Jet 4.0, but I agree
with hiding the table design if possible.

Unless said miscreants are willing to spend a few million electrons and
download the freely available code that will reveal the database

But I agree with Andy. Revealing the table design is hardly going to
allow the who application to be reverse engineered.
