Product Description

Book Description

Author Garry Robinson approaches this book differently than other Access books on the market: he keeps the focus on issues that will help protect your database. Written from an experienced developers point of view, he discusses protection and security task-by-task. This book is even recommended among Microsoft TechNet Security Topics: Threats and Countermeasures.

Youll learn to hide tables as system tables, produce databases difficult to crack, and back up databases. You will learn how to keep staff from viewing salary tables, prevent customers from peeking at your distributed software design, and become a better judge of worthwhile security options (versus time-consuming choices).

About the Author

Garry Robinson established a successful software consultancy business called GR-FX Pty Limited that has been in business for 8 years. During that time, he has helped to develop and supported over 100 Access applications for over 30 organizations. His clients include mining, insurance, and transport businesses. He has assisted quite a number of Access programmers working for their clients. Garry is a contributing editor to Pinnacle Publishing's Smart Access magazine and is an editor of the popular programming website http://vb123.com. He develops and sells shareware software for data mining and Access application libraries, and a programmer's knowledge base. When Garry's not sitting at the keyboard, he can be found playing golf or swimming with the sharks in Sydney, Australia.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a time saver, Jun 16 2004
By 
Chris Phillip (Wolverhampton, West Midlands United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Real World Microsoft Access Database Protection and Security (Paperback)
I have struggled for a long time to understand access security and always seen it as a weak point in what is an otherwise great resource. This book offers real life examples, source code and forms that you can use of the shelf. I'm now able to deliver professional results quickly. As a bonus - I got stuck with what turned out to be a very simple problem and, as suggested, emailed Gary with my problem. I had a reply by the next day - Impressed.

5.0 out of 5 stars The step by step instruction that I needed, April 26 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Real World Microsoft Access Database Protection and Security (Paperback)
Somehow I find myself responsible for security of an Access database and am learning as I go. Until I found this book, workgroups were a mystery and very easily messed up.

The way this book is written is precisely what I needed, as a novice to much of this stuff. Being able to set up and maintain an Access database on one PC is a totally different animal from using SQL and a front-end on a network and making it all secure. First the author says what he's going to teach, then he outlines how he will present the information and why, and then he proceeds to the real meaty stuff. Because of this you understand which sections particularly apply to what you are doing. My copy already opens automatically to Chapter 8 where I have to admit I needed to start more than once. That is more a function of my lack of knowledge than of the way the chapter is written. The notes and tips are all gems. The instructions are clear and don't leave out any steps. There are details and screen shots all the way along that make it clear if you have made a mistake before you get too far past it. For example, page 262, step 7 my copy has a note added in pencil by me, first time through 'This didn't happen' - should have been a warning but I kept going. Had to go back later and correct things. It taught me to trust the instructions to the letter and not to proceed until what I am doing matches what is in the instructions.' I told you I was a novice! Too many computer manuals are written for the advanced expert - we're not all advanced experts! This book has been exactly what I needed.

Maybe it's because Garry hails from down under. Maybe New Zealanders and Australians think differently - whatever it is, this ex-pat Kiwi is glad to have found this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A rare Bird!!, Jan 26 2004
By 
Scott McManus (Wauchope, New South Wales Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Real World Microsoft Access Database Protection and Security (Paperback)
I have known Garry for quiet some time, and was surprised that he had a book in him! I have read many of Garry's journal articles and subscribe to his newsletter and have always found his comments and tips useful - I never thought this would amount to a book. I thought a book on Access security? And then I read it! There is no other resource available that has collated and explained everything you need to know about access database security. SO many other books spend a paragraph or two on how to manage work groups and then they and the other books casually mention that if you really want security move on to SQLServer. Well while that is all well and good some business can not afford SQlServer, and for some corporations, Access provides all of their business needs except the security part. So from a developer's point of view the pit falls and work arounds to finally secure Access Databases are presented in a well thought out and presented book. Good Work Garry!
