>I developed a small serching application for an insurance company that uses a table with extremely private information about my company and relations with our customers/members. I send out an updated table each week that is used to refresh the existing information in the table. Is there a way to protect this table from being accessed or read by another package. Even though we have an agreement with this company to keep the information private and not to access for other uses, I fear that my company information in this table is at risk of being used for other purposes not intended for this application. Is there a way (with VFP) to protect this data from being accessed from outside of the application?

Look at encryption through third party software like Cryptor from Xitech. I believe Halogram markets them in the US.
