Is it possible to assign read-only security status to a database stored on
our server? I want everyone to be able to "see" the data but not be able to
change the data, tables, forms, queries, etc.

As long as you want *everyone* to be read only you can just use network
permissions to do this. They will get a "Read only" warning message whenever
they open the file, but otherwise it will work.

If you want some people to be read only and others to be able to edit (at
the same time) then you cannot use network permissions. For that you have to
set up Access User Level Security.
