Peter,

Whamware, Inc has a product called wiCrypt that can be used to encrypt the data
within your database and the Professional version allows you to create profiles
that can only be used from a specific application. If a user tries to decrypt
the data from any application other than your VB app their request will be
refused.

If this sounds like what you are trying to do, check out www.whamware.com
