Dear community,

I'm sure this has been posted many times. We need to distribute an access
database (*.mdb) with a costing application for our sales persons. We want
our application to open, read, write, but not the sales people. How do you
do this?

Thanks in advance,

Steve
 
There are several approaches.

I suggest you start by reading
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];207793

Access security is a great feature, but it is, by nature a complex product
with a very steep learning curve. Properly used it offers very safe
versatile protection and control. However a simple mistake can lock
everyone including God out.

Practice on some copies to make sure you know what you are doing.

Also look at the built in help file for information on passwords and MDE
files.
