    Not sure if this is possible. So any help would be welcomed. What I want to do is have a small form sitting in the corner of my window that you can see all the time regardless of what I am doing in other windows (like the function in Winzip, to keep it on top). So I can just click on it...

    Not prompted for password when relinking - 'Not a valid password message'

    because I only want the back end to be password protected I am pretty sure the only way to do this is password it after splitting then the tables need to be re-connected. This will allow users to enter information via forms etc but not be able to open any tables directly.

    Reversing Startup Settings With Passworded Admin Access If Possible?

    cheers Golfer that works! Is there a more secure way of doing this, could I put a password on it so if user does not enter password they can only enter data rather than being able to muck up the form designs etc.

    Reversing Startup Settings With Passworded Admin Access If Possible?

    Thought I best ask this question BEFORE I run into trouble. If I were to set my database to hide the database window and all menus on startup so that users can only do what I want them to do and not edit anything. How do I go about reversing this if I needed to edit something as I would not be...
