Database security

[jdwm2310]

Hi,

I have a form which will be used by several users. I don't want them to have form design view, or view anything but the forms. I can I go about doing this?
Thanks

You can compile your project so that your users cannot change the structure of your forms... in design view.

do this by creating an MDE file.

The best way is probably to simply rename your database, because you can't design view a renamed database. I think.

If that doesn't work, I'd go MDE.

digginanyway,

if i save my database as a mde file can i still go into the database for editing by pressing the shift button?

I tried to save the database as a mde file but I was unable to doing it. I receive a message stating that Microsoft Access was unable to create file an mde database..Why?
