For whom? me? you? or OP? In case of the other parts of your reply, I think we have some communication problems. Because we're going in circles. I think I'll stop here one more time, because, it's kind of wasting our time, and other readers Thanks for your replies.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand why you're repeating my words and feed it back to me. Nothing is 100% safe. We try to prevent data leakage as far as possible. And moving from Access to an out-of-shelf app, is one step toward more secured data. It's all what I said from my first post on this...

Since you were in a hurry to reply, you may have missed a very important part of what I said. Here that section; Yes, there was a time a group of hackers, hacked CIA. But none of them started with several hours of googling. They had years and years of hacking experience.

I stepped back for a while to see what experts have to say. I'm not expert in Access, not even close to one. But I believe the MVPs I know, the experts I've talked to, the books and articles I've read. From the first Acces bible that I read with Access 97, down to every book that I've read ever...

Maybe zero. Maybe a lot (While a google reseach needs less than 30 minutes to bring up all sollutions) If you go back to previous posts, I simply said Access is not secure enough (comparing to out-of-box apps) and maybe that's why the OP's company is thinking about another solution like ALIS...

No login info is saved in connection string. As I said Windows Authentication is used. So there's no login info at all. But you can not hide the server name, and database in connection string. Can you?

@BlueSpruce One last question. Do you know you can open your FE and while the FE is opened, launch another database and from there, read the connection string of your FE's linked tables to BE?

Thanks. I'll pass the words to our IT.

Where I work, (like 90% other companies) most of PCs are only terminals. I'm sure you understand how a terminal in an Active directory work. Anyone can sit in front of one of these terminals, and open one of our Access databases to work on it. And because mostly Windows Authentication is used...

If your FE is Access, you can open a blank database, write a simple code to return all tables and then theri fields in your FE. You can also run an update or insert query from a database outside your FE. You can hide/unhide tables in a FE using a remote database, or change FE's properties like...

While all the the mentioned pros of an in-house solution is correct, you guys forgetting about the security. If you own a business, security of your data stands ahead of everything else, and well....all of us know that Access is amoung the least secure apps.

They forgot to say being unemployed is the least risky job to be affected by AI. :)

A new Microsoft study of 200,000 Bing Copilot chats reveals which careers are most exposed to generative AI’s impact. 🤖💼 They found roles focused on writing, teaching, advising, and providing information, such as translators, writers, historians, sales reps, and customer service agents are most...

I didn't oversimplify anything. I only showed that jobs come and then vanish. With each improvement in technology, there's no room for certain jobs. You have two options. Prevent the improvement of technology to keep jobs being vanished, or enforce it and accept the current situation. I simply...

Thanks. I'm away from my PC. I'll check it as soons as I'm back. I appreciate your input.

I'm not a fortune teller nor a prophet to know how the future works. But according to human history, I proved that every year a lot of jobs are vanishing because of the improvement in technology. There were lamplighters to light candles in street lamps. With the invention of electricity, that...

Why are you afraid of jobs being lost? With every evolution in technology, there were a dozen jobs that vanished. Do you regret that? Switchboard Operator Replaced by Automated telephone switching systems (1980s) Film Projectionist (in small theaters) Replaced by: Digital projectors and...

Who told this? And why do you think Ai was built to work for us, not replacing us? My understanding is that AI was designed and made simply to replace human. Am I wrong? Here's a part of my research (several months ago) The Original Proposal: Dartmouth Conference (1956) Source: Dartmouth Summer...

That's desirable. (I assume.) After converting data type from real to money, I don't care about the fifth decimal points onward. I need to have my data to be with the same integer and same first 4 digit after decimal point. If my data in table is 12.0012345678, I need to have 12.0012 as my...

I have a table in a sql server which is accessed by a Microsoft Access FE. The mentioned table has a field named "Multiplier" with a "real" data type. It's used for some engineering calculations. Because of a change in our company's policy and the problems with real data type, I'm considering...
