I was successful in creating a MDB that could be installed on a standalone computer and once installed could not be copied to another computer. The method used was to have code that made WinAPI_GetComputerName call and stored the computer name on the database, the first time run.
That was good up until now. Now I have a request to have it installed on a network. Is there any technique that I can use to prevent a copied MDB file from the server from executing on another computer? Apparently the WIN API I am using gets the computer name from the machine running the code.
Any ideas/techniques would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Boris
