Microsoft® Access Database Security

By: Hermawih Hasan

I am not going to make an article of Microsoft® Access Security. I want to refer a book that has helped me to tackle one of the hardest topics in Microsoft® Access. The book that I am about to tell you has different approach in its structure. The book with twelve chapters and four hundreds and ninety two pages discuss about protection and security. There are already so many books about Microsoft® Access, why we need another book?

Here are my reasons why I recommend the book:

• The book is different. It talks about only security in all chapters.
• The book has helped me to understand more about Microsoft® Access Security.
• The book is unique. With so many books of Microsoft® Access discussing almost the same topics, the author found a niche in the market.
• The book is easy to understand and apply. It took me about two hours browsing the contents and about three hours applying the concepts to my application. Before reading the book, I have read about the topic some where else but without a solid understanding of it. I especially like the suggestion that we should not secure everything.
• This book remind me of my trouble when I tried to find a way applying the concept of object oriented programming and business object to my Microsoft® Access application. If there was such a book for Microsoft® Access, I would have saved time in learning the concept of OOP and Business Objects for my Microsoft® Access application. Obviously, the author has spent a lot of time researching of the topic. And this book about security has helped me to save my time learning it.
