attach database

    I plan to use an MSDE (or Sql Server Express) database in my single-user

    application. My problem is that the mdf file will be accessible (at least

    readonly) to anyone using the application. How can I be sure that the user

    cann't copy the mdf file and attach it to another server and view all the

    information he wants to?

    Why would it ba accessible to anyone.

    Unless you share or give rights to the "server's" drive no one should be able to get to the file. Add-on as long as the server is up the files are locked.

    The client app is connecting to the db/SQL Server through ports 1433/1434 by default.

    A little bit of this and a little byte of that can cause bloatware.
