Hi
We have an MS-access databse, that holds all vital companyinfo and Know How.
Naturally, users must have access to the database during work, but we want
to protect the files from being copied to their laptops ( in case, they were
to leave the company).
We looked at Information Rights Management, but seems not to support Acces.
Any good Ideas ? Is this the right newsgroup to ask the question in ?

Environment
SBS2003 server, 2000 TerminalServer, XP Pro PC's, Office 2003

If they need to and so can read the file, then they can make
a copy of it provided only that they have write access to
something.
About the only approach is to not expose the database to
direct access, but make users get at its content via a middle
tier application that alone needs/has direct access to the db file.
