Password tables
Is there a way to password protect a table? I protected
the form using an event procedure... but I would like to protect the table too. |

Password tables
In my opinion, you should not give your users access to the tables. If your
forms are based on queries that are run with the owner's permission and your users have no direct permissions on the tables, then the users can only get to the data through those forms. Use the built-in security features of Access instead of creating methods to apply passwords to individual objects. Rick B "tkacoo" wrote in message ... Is there a way to password protect a table?

Download and print out the Access Security Whitepaper from http://support.microsoft.com and read it carefully. Sleep on it. The next day, read it carefully, *again*. Follow the instructions to implement security on your database, step by step - it's very easy to do it wrong! Event procedure protection is *very* flimsy and easily bypassed. Access security can be breached but it takes a knowledgable and determined effort. John W.
