Password protecting the database

You can set an overall password for a database so that only users that know the password can view or edit the data.

To set a password:

  1. Open the database in Exclusive mode (Select File/Open and set Exclusive access level using the Properties button at the top of the open dialog).

  2. Select Set Database Password from the Tools menu.

  3. Enter your password (and verify it).

Please write the password down in a safe place – if you forget it you won’t be able to open your database.
