Book Description
Microsoft Access is the most popular desktop database in the world today and its very popularity means that its security measures can be easily compromised. "Securing Your Microsoft Access Database" takes a different approach to all the other Access books in the market in that it focuses from the start on all the issues that will help protect your database. The book approaches protection and security from a task-by-task perspective and provides detail on all the little things that when put together will make your database more secure. This will achieve things like keep your staff from looking at your salary tables, stopping your customers from looking at the design of your software that you distribute and helping you decide which security options are worth doing and which generally a waste of your time. The book has an IT manager's overview on all topics so that managers can assess the risk of different strategies. Where the topics are at an administrator's level, the book provides a visual step-by-step guide to implementing and undoing the settings. Finally, as Garry is very experienced in writing for developers, the book goes into the detail of programming all types of security issues such as hiding tables as system tables, producing databases that password cracker software cannot crack (easily), backing up databases, menus, queries and even user surveillance.

One Amazon.com reader says
"This book is exactly what it proports to be. It covers all the Access versions being used in the development world - 97 to 2003. It does not spend half to 2/3 of the book on basic Access tables, querries, reports or vb code that developers already know, but from the first page to the last covers security and protection. A must have for any Access developer or power user."
Customer Reviews & Comments
Garry Robinson's book is well written and clear. He covers the security issues thoroughly. As one reads the book, it becomes clear that Microsoft has not and apparantly has no plans to beef up security for Access. It is plagued with holes. But the book provides methods for plugging these holes. Purchasers of the book can download an accompanying database with forms that assist developers with implementing security. These forms have saved me countless hours in programming. These savings alone pay for the cost of the book many times over. I spent quite a bit of time researching Access security through the Microsoft website and this was a complete waste of time. There are holes in the security that MS doesn't even mention (what a surprise). This book is well worth the money for anyone who is serious about securing their proprietary efforts.
