I am using MS Office '07. Looking to create a DB in Access. It would have
multi tables. I would like to have ONE table only that is password protected.
Is this possible?

The table that would like locked would include Emp Names & Salaries.
 
Yes its possible.
Create a separate Database with your Employee data table in it and password
protect it.
Then in your main App link to the protected table.
You need to manage user access to only allow authorised viewing!
 
Thank you for the quick reply Brian. I have created the emp list in a diff
DB, but how do I do the auth'd viewing? Not sure I understand what you are
saying. Sorry.
 
JWhitehead,

Without using an SQL Server table there is no way that I know of to lock
just one Access table. Even doing what Brian suggested will leave the
linked table in the front end open to viewing. And truly if you're looking
for real *security* then SQL Server tables is it with permissions set up on
the Server.
