If you want to stop people from copying your database to another computer you need to either limit who has access to the folder in which your database resides and/or setup security on your database so that only authorized users can access your database.

a combination of the three will do it, i thin, because if you set security and they copy everything (mdb and mdw) you still have a copy. Christiaan Baes
