I wonder if someone could give me some pointers on the following.

I need to securely encrypt an Access 2003 database currently sitting on a
server with multiple users linking to it from their individual PCs via an
Access 2003 front-end.

I need a hardware/software solution that will:-

1. Encrypt the database on the server so that a copy of it is of no use
to anyone. This is to cover if the server is stolen.

2. Ensure that only authorised users directly connected to the network
can access the database and preferably only via the designated Access
front-end database.

3. Authorised users cannot get a decrypted copy of the file via their
PCs - i.e. cannot use Explorer or similar to copy the file in decrypted
form.

I presume that the solution would include hardware and software elements.

I would be grateful for any guidance.


If your data is really that sensitive/valuable then I would suggest using
Oracle or similar since Access security can be easily broken.
