I am developing one Inventory project to sell by using C# and MS Access.

After sell this product, Client(or any other) may open the document and read it. I need to overcome this less secure.

I googled it and found solution that Password protection. But lot of tools there to breach this.

If you feel that the password protection feature of the Access Database Engine (ACE) does not offer a sufficient level of security against unauthorized "snooping" of the data then you really should consider using SQL Server instead of ACE as the back-end database.
