Hi, I have a database with workgroup security. I want to make certain fields
invisible only to one user group. How can I do this?

Check with the Access Security FAQ, chapter "How can I obtain group
and user membership information programmatically?"
It can be downloaded from microsoft.com. You should really study and
fully understand it before working with workgroup security. It is an
advanced topic and you can lock yourself out if you are not careful,
or imperfectly implement it if you think you can simply click your way
through a wizard.
