How can I protect the design of a form but allow users to enter and edit data
in the records.
 
Maria,

If you click on the tools menu and then click start up you can have a
switchboard popup upon opening your database (Display Form/Page label). You
can also checkoff boxes to disallow full menus and disable the database
window so your users will not have access to design changes to the form.

Create a .mde file (.accde file if you're using the new version), and give the
users that. Keep the original yourself for future changes and give them a new
..mde when needed.

You'll need to have a Split database (tables in a shared backend, forms,
reports etc. in a frontend of which each user has a copy) to do this
effectively.
