User Level Security

I have a database on a shared drive in work. There are 7 people accessing this database with myself as the administrator. I've tried using the User Level Security Wizard and maybe it's just because I'm a bit slow but I cannot get it to work.

I would like to restrict the 6 other staff members' use of the database to just being able to add and view data but definitely not be able to delete anything as it took me many painstaking hours to collaborate all the information. I thought this could be done through their login details to the database but I can't get it to work and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

Please help!

It focuses on Access 2007 but the 203 is very similar as long as you know how to access the User Level Security wizard!!


I hope this has answered your query.

Access tip:

Random sampling

Data is th key to a good database, therefore checking is essential.

A good way of checking data is by random sampling. You can do this in a query, by typing the follow:
1) In the Field box create a RandonID field eg. Randon Id: Rnd(fieldname])

2) sort the field
3)Right click and chage the properties for To value to be the number of randon records you want to see.

4) Change the set to Show row for Randon ID to be False, add all the other fields you want to see and the run the query.
