How to make linked tables READ-ONLY? 1

[MikeDutcher]

I want to put common tables on a network database and have users link to them in their personal databases.

I don't want the users to be able to change the common tables from their personal databases.

Can this be done and if so how?

What kind of database tables? If it's access tables you can set security up using workgroups and then only give read only access to tables. If it's another type (IE: SQL Server, Oracle) you'll have to set up security on the servers that host the db's..
