Even if you prevent opening of the DBC, someone can still use the table - they'll just be asked if they want to remove the reference to the DBC. You need to remove any access to the drive itself.

>1) I want to secure my database/table that some one cannot be able to open my database/table. First idea come in my mind to open that file with FOPEN() and replace its some characters with FWRITE(). Then FoxPro will refuse to open that file. When I need to open that I again replace back the original characters. This method may be little dangerous. Is there an other Visual FoxPro or any other API Function which can protect my files.
