Access protection

Can you protect a table in Access from certain users, so they can't change the data?

RE: Access protection

Hi Kevin

The way to protect a table from having the data changed by certain users is to set up user level security, so that all users need a password to access the database

Then you can set which objects the users can access and whether they can make changes.

Alternatively you can hide all the tables and have the users access them by clicking buttons on forms.

These buttons could run Macros that open the table as Read Only

Hope this helps

Carlos

Access tip:

Using the Quick Access Toolbar in Access 2010

The Quick Access Toolbar is included in virtually every Office product, including Outlook 2010, Word 2010, Excel 2010, and PowerPoint 2010.

You will find the Quick Access Toolbar in the top-left side of the window. To begin, click the Customize button (it's the little black arrow at the end of the toolbar).

Simply click the commands you want to include.

Virtually any command can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. Click the More Commands option and a new window will open from where you can browse the commands including those not on the ribbon.
