ACC2000: Cannot use Encrypt/Decrypt command in Microsoft Access Project
This article was previously published under Q231173
Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user
computers.
This article applies only to a Microsoft Access project (.adp).
In a Microsoft Access project, the
Encrypt/Decrypt Database command is not available (on the
Tools menu, point to
Security).
Unlike Microsoft Jet (.mdb) databases, Access projects may
not be encrypted or decrypted. Therefore, the
Encrypt/Decrypt Database command is not available while you work in an Access project.
If
you want to encrypt the data that is sent and received, you can do this through
the
Data Link Properties dialog box. To
do this, follow these steps:
- On the File menu, click
Connection.
- In the Data Links Properties dialog box,
click the All tab.
- Manually set the Use Encryption for Data property to true.
For additional information, visit the following Microsoft
Developer Network (MSDN) Web site:
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
- In Microsoft Access, open any Access project connected to a
SQL Server or MSDE database.
- On the Tools menu, point to Security.
- Note that the Encrypt/Decrypt Database command is not available.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Access 2000 Standard Edition

didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
