Hello all..

I have a bit of a dilemma on my hands.

I have a database of material on my laptop using MS Access 1.0. 

I have never encrypted this database, nor looked into Access encryption
because my HD is encrypted at a filesystem level, so why worry?

Now, however, I need to get a copy of this data to a friend. 

I feel dumb asking this, because I basically have a gut feeling about the
answer.. but I'll ask anyhow: is MS Access crypto strong?

Or do I teach my friend the ways of SFS first?
