In addition to explanations from mdougan, using database password and user level password protections is helpfull but there are lots of free tools out there breaking both passwords propmtly. Encrypting database to prevent hex editing and also renaming the extention of mdb would help to disguise but there is no way for %100 protection with Access. you may consider using MSDE for better functionality and security.It requires minimal no change in code to migrate from access.

Some of the best Ways to secure Access are to:

A: Database Password
B: Change the File Extension ( *.ppd or something)
- no effect on connections
C: Make it a hidden file
