Answer
Hi

Sorry for the delay in reply!

1. You can't do anything... may be you can change the file extension name from MDB to TXT or JPG so, if they open it will open in photo shop file...

2.  Normally When you create the web sever "wwwroot" will be the location of web files and "Database" folder outside the wwwroot will have the Database file.. so no body can't download that.

Happy Programming!
