I have a Microsoft Access database that I will be emailing to various people for data entry only. Is there and easy way to lock/password certain tables, queries, reports, forms, macros from being modified in design or entries add/changed to a specific table. The database pops up with the current form for them to add info., but in the past some have changed certain tables and added info. I want to prevent this.
 
Read all you can about user security and adding security using the security wizard in the help files. This is non-trivial and does not lend itself to an easy explanation. I have quite a few applications that are 'secured' according to Microsoft. There are some gotchas associated with this.
