I am creating a simple database listing names, descriptions and pictures of peripheral computer devices that students can search to assist them in making appropriate IPO choices for different user senarios. The database contains a single table that displays in a form. The description field is set up as a memo type [to allow lengthy descriptions] and the picture obviously as an OLE Object. Simple, works fine.
My problem is that students will simply copy the descriptions and paste them into their own project work, which I want to avoid. If they can't copy directly they are more likely to write their own interpretations. The picture is less important, but again I would like to avoid copying.
If I set the data property enabled = No then they can't copy, but the greyed out colours make it difficult to read. The locked property seems to stop changes but not copying. Is there another way to stop the user copying, or to alter the greyed out colours?
