Hai all

I developed an app in vb and i am using DSN conn to connect to my
database. My app. is running in an environment in which my exe and
database folder resides in the server and all the supervisor and other
user have an access to an app.

Audit group visited our place and open the database folder through
windows explorer and accessed my table which is developed using visual
foxpro and opened it in an excel and also tried to modify it. They
pointed out the loopholes in handling the database.Now i am in a
position to set the permission for the database folder so that it should have
Access denied for users and allow only supervisor to access.

Please suggest me how to set the permission so that the app should be
able to use by the users(add,modify and delete the records) but thru
explorer they are not allowed to open the dbf file. When i tried to
set the folder permission to Access denied for users, but if they try to
open the exe it shows the table does not exists.How to handle this
problem

What kind of database? MS Access? Dbase? Foxpro?

Also, why kind of file server? A windows server? Novell? Linux w Samba?

I am using Visual foxpro 6.0 as back end and working in windows 2000 environment

I moved this thread to the PC - other database forum, as Foxpro is not a server-based product.
