Edward,
I think the only solutions to this are encryption or client/server. I really don't think there's any way to keep people from accessing a dbf from Windows when you give them access via your application. Even if you took out the floppy drive's they'd still be able to e-mail or FTP them if they have internet access.
>I got a question from some client: what can be done to prevent some user from opening Windows Explorer and copying DBF files to floppy disk(s). This imaginable thief supposed to be user of VFP system they already have, i.e. s/he has access to the network drive where all data files reside. Could someone really familiar with WinNT networks give some advice here?
