I am relatively new to Access, but fairly skilled at
Excel. I need some guidance on getting the proper
security. I am setting up an Access database that will be
accessible by anyone on the LAN. I want only the
Administrator to be able to edit the data. The exception
would be that some users would be able to edit specific
data. For example, User 1 can edit the even-numbered cells
in Column and User 2 can edit the odd-numbered cells in
Column A.
 
Hi Rich,

If you mean

" User 1 can edits values in Column B and User 2 can edit values in Column
A."

Then look at the article ACC2000: How to Simulate Column-Level Security in
Microsoft Access (304315)
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;304315

However, if you mean in the same column for both Users then you would need
to either utilize queries (e.g., User1 can only use Query1 & User2 can only
use Query2) or develop some programming logic using VBA code basing the
code behind a Form.

NOTE: either way it's NOT truly secured (i.e., users can still overwrite
what you intended)

I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
respond back to this posting.
