Enable Password Decryption using a different Password

Users having the ability to Decrypt the Database is a huge security liability. Unencrypted databases enable Remote Queries which are very simple to create. Even the System Tables can be access by Remote Queries from another database.

    You can Decrypt an Access Database using the same Password you use to open an Encrypted Database. When you Decrypt it a Database a Password is not longer needed to be able to open the database. Anyone can open it. If you could use a different password to Decrypt the Database then Administrators can make sure users cannot Decrypt the Database. Encrypted Databases are far more secure than Decrypted Databases.
