> Not allowing someone to read or write information to a database is partial security. Encrypting that data is also partial security. VFP tables are files on a network shared server drive and can be deleted - that's something you cannot secure. If the data resides on a SQL Server, or Oracle Database Server, the files that the actual data reside in are not accessible to be tampered with.
I think what Craig's getting at bypasses that problem, since you assign password protection to shares at the server, and use the COM object to do the login. He can elaborate further, perhaps...
