I decided to take your advice and add a new user (via SQLDMO) rather than modify the SA password (as deftly demonstrated in this article http://www.sqlservercentral.com/columnists/awarren/loginsusersandrolesgettingstarted.asp)

However, after running...

99% of my users are on laptops without any other SQL Server applications. So I want to install MSDE and change the SA password via SQLDMO. Is this the right...

Is it possible to keep the data structure (tables, fieldnames, etc.) hidden from SA using encryption?

Thanks,
