how can I deny access to download to a .mdb file in a directory ??

and If I deny access my application can open it to read data ?

Thanks

I'm not sure if I completely understand your question, but you can make the folder where the database resides read-only for all users (except for an administrator). This will prevent any files from being copied to the folder.

The Access database must then be opened for read-only access by your application.
