>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?

You could do this with a middle tier server. The user would connect to the Middle tier and log into that server. The middle tier could log into the server with the actual data using a special username. The user never has direct access to the data files.
