created. Make sure the restrictions work the way you want, and make any
needed corrections to your privilege sets.
Password-protecting a file
If you have a non-shared database file on your computer and you want to
prevent others from opening it, you can password-protect the file.
After password-protecting a file, you will be prompted to enter an account
name and password every time you open the file. Anyone who does not know
this account information will not be able to open the file.
To password-protect a file:
1. Make the following changes to the accounts in the file:
1 Edit the Admin account so that it has a different account name, a
password, and uses the Full Access privilege set.
1 Make sure the Guest account is inactive.
1 Delete any other accounts in the file or make them inactive.
2. If necessary, edit the Full Access privilege set to allow yourself any
extended privileges you may want for yourself.
Don’t enable extended privileges unless they’re needed.
