How do you lock design view from users?
Kostika,
Convert your .mdb to .mde (Tools Database Utilities Make MDE file). The ..mde will have the full functionality of the .mdb but will not accept any design changes. Word of caustion: be sure to store the original .mdb securely so you can use it to make changes if required, you won't be able to do it in the .mde! It also helps to split your database into FE/BE (Tools Database Utilities Database Splitter) and convert the FE to .mde, so when you then make changes in your .mdb and make a new .mde you won't have to worry about the data being out of sync. HTH, Nikos "Kostika" wrote in message om... How do you lock design view from users? Using Access 2000. Very basic DB. But can't have the users modifying the design. Thanks |

How do you lock design view from users?
I should have started by saying:
If it's a multi-user database, the first thing you need to do is split it to FE/BE and distribute a copy of the FE to each user, or you are in for corruptions! Nikos "Kostika" wrote in message om...
