what happens when you access an encrypted BE in 2007

[salmonella]

when using an encrypted BE, does the whole Be become decrypted at logon,
or is it only the data flowing in and out of it. In other words, is the Be
vulnerable/decrypted if it is being accessed via a FE?

thanks

Only the data. The database does not become unencrypted. A second user will
NOT be able to get at the data.
