Securing DBF File on a File level. -

Hello out there

Is there anyone who understand anything about DBF files????

Normally as far as I know, a *.DBF File acts as a free file on any file system.

Now, I would like to know if, it is possible to secure this DBF file using password to prevent un-authorise entry??.

Encryption will work pefectly well but it will take long when the file size is too big. Offcourse I do not have any code yet to encrypt this kind of file.

Accessing this File from VB is not a problem at all, but this File is a free file on the file system which is accessible to, just like any other file.

Note: You can open DBF file using Excel, Access, so this file is not secure at all. When Using Foxpro, it is included inside the exe file.

Can someone assist if they have the answer.

Thanks in advance.
