The simple part is yes this can be done. The next set is actually doing it.
However, if your end-users are savvy they will still get past this
'security'.
You can go Joan Wild's website which talks about Access Security
http://www.jmwild.com/Accesssecurity.htm OR you can create some tables and
set-up your own security. Doing your own you will need a Security table and
a table with the users log-on and password. Where are you storing their
log-ons that you want it to automatically fill in or do you want to use
their network log-on?
