[AccessD] Hiding Back End Design

Rocky,

  No.

  With Access, the best you can do is protect the source code by supplying a
MDE file.  Outside of that, it's all easily breakable.

  And I would disagree that the table design is 80% of the app.  Probably
the other way around.

I've heard tell that there are cheap Access password crackers available.  To
someone in China who wanted in, would it be very difficult?
