Default Table security

You need to implement User Level Security. That way you can restrict user to
certain forms and reports plus not allow them to even see the tables.

However this is a LOT of work both to set up and maintain. Unless you have a
very valid requirement, such as HIPPA or some other law, to keep users out of
the table, I suggest that you don't sweat the small stuff and allow users
access to things. Just keep frequent backups.


I read the stories about user level security and I must say I am not
very keen on that option. The database is used within a risk
management department. Some comboboxes are restricted to certain
values eg Obligations. I don't want the user to add values by
themselves.
