I'm looking at the ten commandments listed, and the second one says to never let users directly edit the tables. Should it be revised to state that you should never let the users access the tables with totally bound forms (if that is the right jargon to use)?
The reason I'm asking is to know if I'm missing something fundamental. If I create a 'Customers' table, and then use Access's wizard to create a 'Customers' form, which simply uses the fields in the table (as the default wizard setting does), there doesn't seem to be any difference between the table and the form. The user can open the form and delete all of the existing customers if they want, by highlighting everything and deleting.
Is there a resource somewhere that goes into this more deeply?
Thanks,
David
