Protect databases - Microsoft Access 2013 - page 347

TIP You probably don't want to print this long report, but it is a good idea to create
and print a report such as this one for your own databases, in case you ever need
to reconstruct them. You can't save the report, but you can export it in a variety of
formats by right-clicking the report, clicking Export, and then clicking the format
you want.
CLEAN UP Close the Object Definition report and the GardenCompany12 database.
Key points
▪ You can assign a password to a database to prevent unauthorized users from opening
it. Assigning a password automatically encrypts the database.
▪ Splitting a database can enhance database performance and safeguard data in a
multiuser environment.
▪ If you save the database as an .accde file, people can use its forms and reports but
not create new ones.
▪ Access automatically fixes many problems that can arise with a database. You can
prevent problems by frequently using the utilities provided for that purpose.
▪ The simplest way to protect your database is to back it up regularly.
