Default Lock Table

Hello,
My database has a table in it with two fields, [tank] and [product]. The
only time the table is used is in a lookup to determine which calcuation to
use. The problem I have is that the data keeps getting overwritten. Is there
a way I can set a tracking so I tell when, where and what is changing the
data?
Thanks

Not really. You can use Access Security (not a trivial task but doable
and well documented) to lock the table.

One way this can happen is by having a Combo Box with its control
source set to one of the fields in the table. If you're using a combo
box to search for data it should be *unbound*. Check your combos!
