I don't see any way to prevent of preventing someone from opening a table once that person has rights to open tables via the application. You could use a 3rd party encryption utility to encrypt all the tables and only provide the un-encryption key through the app. This will not prevent users from opening tables outside the app, but at least they will be looking a gibberish.

However, you could use a product like NetLib to login to a server using a *generic* user id and password pre-programmed into your app that your users do not know about. But once the user has the app running and is logged in, that same user could launch VFP, Access, etc., and start opening tables outside the app as well.
