deployment problems

[joeblow2]

HiAccess 2003)
I split my application into the database part and the front-end. Then I made an mde out of my front-end. Now, when I look at the database window (when I open the mde): for the Forms and Reports the "Design" and "New" icons are greyed out. However this is not so for Tables and Queries. The user can modify my tables and queries.
I want so that users should not be able to make changes to my application when the mde is deployed to their machines.
How can I achieve this and what is the reason that the greyying out is done for some and not for all.
Thanks in advance.

You said you made an mde out of the frontend.... I assume your backend is still a mdb.... Your tables are in the backend.. therefor you can edit them.
