Importing Files

[Novice1]

My database is split (front end; back end). The back end is on a server with a password. The front end cannot be accessed with Ctl Shift and the toolbars and navigation is turned off.

How do I prevent someone from opening a new db and simply importing the files from the front end named above?

simple answer is that you can't. but for further protection

1 ensure front end is an accde,
2 don't use queries or linked tables - instead create and assign recordsets in code,
3 and ensure any passwords are built dynamically in code otherwise they can be discovered by inspecting the front end in a text editor.
