MDB server security

[Murray Chapman]

Hi
A question that I have wanted to ask for ages.
Ho do Istop a person from downloading my access database that Iam using as
part of my site backend.

I am sure that the answer is fairly simple but Ihave never seen any
documentation telling me how to do this.

I hope that someone can help me.

All the best

Put it somewhere that it can't be downloaded from.

Just put it in a location that the web server cannot reach by URL.

Re: MDB server security

You must configure in IIS (globally or only for single application): click
Properties -> Configuration -> Mappings
Add a new item:
Executable: something that doesn't display the database content
Extension: .mdb
