Hi,
I have a form that has multiple buttons to view additional
information and drop down boxes to search for different
data. I need to make it so users can search and look at
info but cannot change the information. I've tried making
the form read only but then can't do a search. Any ideas?
The form is part of a front end with all data linked to
the back end.

Correction... I've tried making the form not updateable
Click to expand...
but then can't do a search...
 
I have a database with many functions that I wanted one user to have, but
none of the others to have.

To do this, I created a new front end that displayed all the information and
functions I wished everybody to have, and linked that to the back end.

This way, you have the same back end, just different front end screens for
different purposes. I think this is the easiest and most effective way of
achieving it.
