Just to test the security of the Access Database I typed in the direct URL of the file, and was able to download it.

May I ask as I don't have Access is somebody else was able to download the file would they have access to the database details or is it encrypted?

This is the reason why passwords are 100bit encrypted in the database.

However, for those that read the install instructions it does tell you how to move the Access database to a secure location on the server where it can not be downloaded from:-
