[Guest]

i am currenty installing an access database on a network, and want to let
everyone view it and enter/delete data, but not change the settings of the
database (eg. change forms/database settings/etc. Only admins (myself and 1
other) should be able to actually edit the background database.

How is this done? i have read alot about users levels but don't totally
understand it.

Thanks for your help.

You can deploy the database in the .mde format, which doesn't allow users to make design changes to
forms/reports/modules (note: they can make changes to tables and queries, if they can see them). As far as not allowing
them to change settings - a combination of various startup options would probably do this for you.

You can implement ULS, but it's not a trivial exercise.
