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.

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

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.
