Password on a Split Database

Hi Anna

Although you can add a password to the backend of a split database, I suggest suggest you split the database and then add the password to each of the front ends.

To add a password to a database:

1. Open the database as Exclusive (Select the database. In the Open dialog box Drop down the open button and select Open Exclusive

2. In the Ribbon, under Database Tools select Encrypt with Password and set the password

Hope this helps

Carlos

Access tip:

Choosing data types in Access

Not sure which data type to use for your Access fields? Here are some guidelines to help you choose a data type to assign to a field.

- The Text data type can accept up to 255 characters. For information that will be recorded in paragraphs, use Memo.

- Also use Text for numbers that aren't going to be used in calculations, e.g. phone numbers.

- Use the Currency data type for monetary amounts.

- Use Date/Time for dates.

- Most other numbers can use the Number data type, but the Field Size property may have to be altered.

- For fields that have only two alternatives (yes, no) use Yes/No data type. If there is likely to be a third entry option (e.g. maybe or don't know) use Text instead.
