If a user has read access to the folder/file they can copy it to anywhere
they have write permission. Sounds like a training issue that needs to be
addressed. However if you can minimize the folders a user has write access
to you may help resolve the problem. If the users are local administrators
on their computer and/or on the computer with the database they can copy to
just about anywhere. So if they don't really need to be local administrators
that may be a good place to start solving the problem. Even regular users
however by default have the special permissions create folders and create
files to the drive/root folder of the computer but that can be changed if
that is what is happening.

I am trying to figure out how to prevent users from copying a file or
directory from the corporate network. The problem I have run into is
a user inadvertently copying a shared database to another location.
They now continue to use the wrong database and enter\modify data.
Once they realize something is wrong it takes some time to fix the
issue.
I am surprised that there is no security setting in Windows to
disallow copying of a directory or file. I was playing with the idea
of hiding the directory and creating another directory with shortcuts
only in it but that gets messy.
Has anyone else had a problem with this?
Thanks,
