Database design protection when sharing a database in Access 2007

Is there a way to protect a database design (tables) from being altered while
sharing access to that database? I have posted a form and tables for others
to populate with data, but want to protect the design/format from being
accidentally altered.

If you stick to the old "mdb" format then you can apply user-level security
which is an advanced topic. User level security is not supported by the new
file format.

Take a look at Access HELP for "mde" or "accde" -- depends on which version
of Access you are using.
