Hi I have a couple of reports in Access that a few others need to be able to view. I've built a form as a swtich board to open these report. Is there a way I can hide everything else in the database when open as normal, and just show this report page? I have seen something similar before.

Also can Access be open as read only without typing in any password?

Many thanks in advance.

Access tip:

Splittng a database

Split your database into two (at least).

Keep all of your code, forms, reports, etc. in one 'code' database and all of your tables in another 'data' database which is then linked to the 'code' database.

This makes modifications, updates and back-ups that much easier and allows you to work on a new version of your 'code' database without affecting existing users. It also makes it easier should you wish to convert a single user databases into a multi-user networked version.
