If you have a copy of Ken's book read the chapter on Security which goes into more detail. Once you have gone this route there is NO way of getting your data back if you forget the Administrator password. Don't encrypt an existing table. Rather copy the table to a temporary file. Recreate the original table, protect it and then append the original data. Mervyn. | |
