Hello!

I am using an accessDB for generating websitecontent. I now need to avoid, that users can download this DB but that asp-scripts still have access to the DB.

someone can help???

multi thanx

Tom

Hi Tom,

First password protect the database, then change the extension on database to .asp & adjust the connection file accordingly. IIS will allow downloading of a .mdb file but not a .asp without processing it. The site will function normally. If you need to get back into the database via MS Access, just reverse the process.

Maybe you should place the database outside of the wwwroot.
If you provider does
A good provider will alow this. ( www.vevida.nl )

Else see above..

end if

Thanx all!

Found a better way - forgot to say, that I can fully administer the server by myself: so the solution was just to go into the IIS adminconsole removing the read permission from the dbase directory.

so almost the things are simpler as the brain would expect <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
