Yes, this is something many developers do.
Use a menu and a form.
Hide the nav pane from the users and make sure there are no options on the
ribbon that give users the ability to open the tables directly.

I know I can do this in a form. It's in the table that I want the field to
be
readonly. Don't other people need this capability also?

Do I need to force my users to go through a menu and a form? How do I
prevent them from just opening the table and changing this field? Maybe
even
by accident.

By the way, I'm using Access 2007 and DAO

Change the LOCKED property to YES. You can change it to NO in VBA if you
need to make changes and then change it back so users can't. You will
find
the property in the DATA tab of the property sheet.

Vba code changes the values, but not a user directly. Is there any way

enforce this?
