forms and pages

[Ruth]

Hi there

I want a form that will act like a page in that you can have the form
somewhere on a network where people can get to it to input data, but the data
and the reports are located somewhere else on the network.

I understand a page can do this, but if possible I want to sent up the forms
to do this. If not, can a page have lists boxes that look up data and pull
the data up so one can modify or enter new data?

Hey Ruth

Access can do what you want
best way is to split the database in a Frontend (FE) and a Backend (BE).
Then you can put the tables BE on the network drive and provide all
workstations with the FE. Users can input data using the forms on their PC
and the tables will be updated, but users can't access the tables.
If you don't want the users to be able to access reports you can build your
own security (remove buttons, hide taskbars, hide database window, etc...)
