Database protection

R

REBUS Shped

Is it possible to put a code in my database which code will check for Volume
Serial Number (or something similar) so if the value is not correct with one
that I have previously entered, run Quit macro or quit code. If the code is
same then code would open Switchboard.
In this way I think that my database would be bit more safer from ilegal
copies.

There are a number of different ways. For example:

* You can either write an entry to the Registry and on open, check for this
entry.

* Similarly, create a (dummy) file on the hard-disk and on open, check the
existence of this file.

Check Access VB Help on SaveSetting and GetSetting Method.

For more advanced stuff, you need to use Win API.
