Restricting Users Ability To Read Only Version: 2003

[syoung7903]

I have a very simple Access database that contains a form where users enter sheduling information...I wish to limit a group of users to be able to read this information only and not modify or add to it.

The tables are in a back end mdb. The rest is in a front end mdb. And the users actually use the mde file when working with the schedule.

What in your opinion is the least complicated method for providing some users with the ability to add/modify and some with read only.

Thank you.

Least complicated: get your IT department to set up the "read only users" in their own security group and give them READ ONLY access to the contents of the database folder. This is a foolproof and extremely simple (and quick!) way to limit their access.
