Is there a good way of maiking a database read-only for all users? If not how would I make it read-only for individuals?

Thanks!

Hello cceng,
Which Operating System (OS) are you using? If you are using Windows NT/2000/XP I would suggest making the folder that the database is in to "Read Only".

I'm not sure why you would want to do this. The result of this is that the other people can only view the data. Hey, I just remembered, why not change everyones login user rights to "Browse".

Hope this helps.

Michael
