Hi Shaishav,

>Since I'm storing the data in a DBF file, Is there any way I can restrict the access to these Database files, so that no one can go and open these files and view the critical data.

You can follow up on what Sylvain suggested for encrypting the files contents. Another move is to change the file extension from dbf to DLL or even TXT. You will want to follow up on encrption, this is just another level in hiding it. Also look into building the table into your project.
