Restricting Users Ability To Read Only Version: 2003

[syoung7903]

I have a very simple Access database that contains a form where users enter sheduling information...I wish to limit a group of users to be able to read this information only and not modify or add to it.

The tables are in a back end mdb. The rest is in a front end mdb. And the users actually use the mde file when working with the schedule.

What in your opinion is the least complicated method for providing some users with the ability to add/modify and some with read only.

Thank you.

I suggest that you learn Access security. That will allow you to create and use a custom workgroup and assign user permissions. Search around for there is a ton of threads discussing it.
