Hidding things & Passwords

[simon mills]

Hello.

I want to prevent people accessing the control boxes on a 'satalite' mdb. I have hidden the control at the top through the start up options, but havent prevented the special keys as I occassionally need to get in this database for error fixing and such like. I want to know if I can put a password on this function, so that if they know it and try it it asks for a password before opening the control windows/table pages etc.

does anyone know if this is poss and if so how too ???

Thanx in advance for your time

Hum...

Why not just lock up the production version and maintain an 'un-locked' master version?

What do you mean by lock up?

Sorry - this access thing is newish still

I have a database that only I have access to on a seperate server. I maintain that. I then have a smaller lookup version that has 2 linked tables, and a few forms/reports etc. On one form there is an exit database button which for reporting uses they must click and not just 'x' at the top or it doesnt register they've gone. I want to totally hide the top of the database so this there only option and also prevent tampering etc of the data.

Can I do this ???
