Dear community,

I'm sure this has been posted many times. We need to distribute an access
database (*.mdb) with a costing application for our sales persons. We want
our application to open, read, write, but not the sales people. How do you
do this?

Thanks in advance,

Steve

Then 10 minutes googling might pay off for you, no?

You can do this using Access user-level security. Unfortunately, it is quite
a steep learning curve, with many traps for the unwary. Plan on taking at
least a few weeks to get a reasonable understanding of it. Locate, download
& study the so-called Access Security FAQ. Experiment on some throw-away
copies of your database - not on your only master copy!

HTH,
TC
