>I am looking for a technique where I can restrict access to data tables (free tables or dbf files) on a network drive, while at the same time granting access to those same files through a foxpro application (fox 2.x or VFP). I know that I can restrict access to files thru NT or Netware file security, but that prevents the application from accessing the files as well. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I've used NetLib's Security products to prevent this; it works similarly to Cryptor.
