Modify a copy of the FILELIST.CFG file and place it in a directory before the data directory in the driver setup path. The driver cannot open files that are not in the FILELIST.CFG. If you do not have the DFFILE program required to make changes to the FILELIST.CFG, use the instructions above for HEXEDIT.

You can also use our Security functions in version 3.1 and 4, which prevent users from accessing certain tables. They will be able to see them in the list however, but will be unable to open them. We do this because programs like MS Access remember the list of files, and give errors if files appear to be missing.
