Run Time Access

[JesseH]

We have an MS Access DB that we want to restrict user access to data and only allow them to use the forms. We tried to use Run-Time access but not could make it work. Does anybody have any instructions on how to make the Access run-time work or is there any way to hide the tables.

Thanks for the help.

When you say - "could not make it work," what exactly does that mean? We need more specific information, like "it started ticking and then the computer blew up" or "when we started it up, the screen went dark."

And, in the Runtime you would want to look into using the Disable Bypass Key code (do a Google Search or search here for it). Then someone can't hold shift to get into the tables.

Bob, thanks for the response. We hid the tables and hope that this is enough. We had to distribute the product.

We will get back to this when time permits.

Thanks again for the response.

One thing to check when using runtimes is you have a Default form to load when the frontend starts. Otherwise you'll generally get a blank screen.
