I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to setup a system of logging into a db, the user creates a new record and is the only who can make any changes to it in the future. I know this will probably be a lengthy process, but any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks for your help.
 
I don't know if Access security will handle this or not. But you could get the user's OS login (do a search here, I have seen it recently) and store that as a field in the record. Then when you get the record, you would have to check the user again and allow edits based on that.

Might work... Terry M. Hoey
 
Terry is quite right.

Function to get OS login is Environ("Username")
