Our company has developed a product that lets you put databases on the web with a few lines of ASP Code. I know that if the database is stored within the webpage it is easyily downloaded by typing the URL in. Is there a way to prevent this. My Boss wants to keep this Access database within the web. We already have webs that use our product that keep the database in a differant location. But we are trying to look for a way this can be done within the web. I need all security concerns that can happen or what you think will happen.

Your question is webserver-dependent. If you're using IIS you can remove IIS read permission on the item.

Since your question is so old, you might as well just reload the latest versions of all software, and you'll have a new set of problems to deal with. Heck, update all your hardware and operating systems while you're at it. Have a real party.
