Blocking a link

M

Mike

I can keep unauthorized people out of my database, but what I haven't been
able to do is prevent someone from linking to a table in my database from
another datadase. Is ther a way to do this?

You could put a password on the .mdb file. then they will need the password
to open the database for linking.

Are your tables in an Access "back-end", or in SQL-Server, or ...??

"How" depends on "what"...

SQL-Server, I think. Its. standard Access database that resides on a server
drive/folder and the drive is of the SQL type. Hope this answers your
question.

If your data is stored in a SQL-Server database, you can use SQL-Server
security to prevent unauthorized access to the data. See your local SQL
DBA...
