Assuming you mean the A2007 ACCDB format, that is not possible. Also
keep in mind that even though in some cases the application can be
yours (and your clients are licensing usage), the data is not. If you
were able to hide the db design, you would likely also hide the data
and that's a big no no in many jurisdictions.

If you want to keep the users from seeing your code or modifying the structure
of forms and reports, make your .mdb or .accdb file into a .mde or .accde and
distribute that. KEEP A COPY of the original, you'll need it to make
modifications.

There is no really solid security structure in 2007. You can make it a hassle
for users or hackers, but any password can be cracked if someone is
determined.
