Read option only on tables
How do I keep a particular table or database protected so the records cannot be edited but only viewed by others?
RE: Read option only on tables
<b>To protect an entire database</b>
Make a backup copy of the database and store in a safe place.
Then right click on the database file in windows explorer, and tick the READONLY box.
<b>To protect a table</b>
If you are using a switchboard for users to access the table, then you can set the view to read only. If the information is being viewed via a form, you can set the form to ready only by:
Go to the Design view of the form
Double click on the top left square of the form to get the properties box.
Click on the DATA tab.
Set "Allow Additions, Allow Edits, Allow Deletions" to NO.
