Hey Lynn, I can't get to your web site. Whatsup? I entered www.Itcomputerdesigns.com and it wasn't recognized. "Lynn Trapp" wrote: Sam, You can either provide those 2 people with a separate front-end with the 2 forms and reports that they need or, else, you can implement User Level security and only give them permission to use the forms and reports that you want them to. To follow the second approach is pretty difficult. You will need to get a copy of the Security FAQ (there's a link on the Security page of my website), read it several times, and follow it TO THE LETTER. -- Lynn Trapp MS Access MVP www.ltcomputerdesigns.com Access Security: www.ltcomputerdesigns.com/Security.htm "Sam" wrote in message ... I need help on an issue similar to this. I have a replica of my database that two people use to enter data. Now I need two other people to have access to only two forms and reports. I have not been able to get there. Can you please help me with this? "Lynn Trapp" wrote: Does your boss wish the client not to have a way to alter the application, or does your boss not wish to add the cost of Access? Jeff, In my experience, clients typically are looking for some combination of those 2 things. When I first started working where I do now, we took the full version of Access off of all computers except for a few key people. We were trying to prevent to seemingly constant proliferation of new Access databases all over the company (it seems that nearly everyone in the company who originally had Office Pro installed on their computers opened Access and created a DB1.mdb) and to reduce the cost of purchasing full licenses. Obviously, the financial types wanted to reduce the cost and the IS department wanted to get rid of so many databases. However, it looks to me like we have encountered a problem with the proliferation problem since I managed that project. When new employees came on board or when anyone got a new computer, it seems they were given the full version of Access again. So, the proliferation problem started up again. -- Lynn Trapp MS Access MVP www.ltcomputerdesigns.com Access Security: www.ltcomputerdesigns.com/Security.htm |
