I have a report that is very large and I want users to be
able to view the report and search for specific data. I
convert the report to an RTF file so that I can search. I
save the file as a read only file to prevent editing,
however the file cna still be editted. is there someother
way I can save the report, allow it to be searched and be
read only. I'm really stuck on this. I don't know why
the read only property is not working.

Thank you

probably PDF format is what you need? i am not sure, just idea
