database security
Is there some way I can send an Access2007 database to someone and prevent
this person from accidentally changing any info in this database? By the way, i've been encountering these words "front end' and back end" databases. What do these mean? Thanks, Bob |

You have the master don't you? Change the form's Allow Edits, Allow Additions and Allow Deletion properties to No and set the startup options such that the db window is hidden.

My understanding of front end and back end is that it refers to "split"
databases. When you split a database, you give the front end to users and keep the back end. The users get access to the forms and reports for data entry/review but can't mess around with the database design, visual basic code, etc. For more information on this topic, go to your help section on the toolbar and type in Front-end. Then select, "About MDE files". "Keith Wilby" wrote: "Bob76" wrote in message ...
