Make Reports as READONLY 1

[villsthearcher]

Hello,

I have created a report and I donot want the user to modify it in any way. For instance, one can goto Design View and alter the fields that are displayed.

I want it to be a READONLY Report, where users can only View them. I thought of using Passwords, but it is not really required by our requirements.

Kindly help me..

Thanks,
villsthearcher

You could create an MDE from your application.

I really apologize, if I am being so Naivete and asking such basic questions.

Hi dhookom,

Anyway I was wondering what a MVP is ?

Most Valuable person?

Sorry.

General MVP info:

http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/default.aspx

Creating an MDE has nothing to do with coding. You make a copy of your MDB file and store it away someplace safe. Then you select Tools->Database Utilities->Make MDE File...

This creates a new file that is very much like your original but the forms and reports can't be created or modified.
