hi,

i have tried convert .db file into .mde file. however, the .mde format still allows user to be in the ms access enviroment although prevent editing of the form and source code.

how can i convert the .db file into a format whereby the ms access enviroment is not shown and also not edit-able. In simple explaination, its something like an .exe file where it is run independantly without ms access enviroment. Just only the form itself is running.

thank you.
 
No such thing as an EXE in Access...

Best thing you can do is "Hide the Database screen" for good with some code and prevent the use of the shift key when starting up.

Other than that users are and probably allways will be able to get near your source code.
VBA coding can be password protected, but like most everything it is hackable....

Might give you a few ideas...

to disable the Shift key....
 
The only thing you could do is write an actual program with Visual Basic which uses a backend database to store the data. Or better yet, a SQL server.
 
namliam gave me the link is useful.

here is another problem, how can i make it auto-run formA everytime instead of the usual "sercurity warning" pop-up click "ok" and then manual double-click on the formA in the objects in order to run it.
 
The security I dont know either...

THe form is easy... Extra => Startup
Pick the form from the list.
 
try lowering you maco security, goto tools, security and select low.

This is not really advisable... as it will allow any code to run, not only yours and that is -in general- something you do not want.

I have been trying to work with self made licenses to sign databases, but they have to be installed on computers to allow your DB to run. It is a complex thing and I am not sure I fully understand it...
