Keeping a user out of design view

[Jeff]

How do I keep users out of the design view of the database? How does
that work with making changes to the database as well.

Thanks

Two options.

Only allow your users access to an mde version of your database (they can't
make changes this way).

Or

Implement user-level security and ensure that the required users do not have
the permissions to make changes to forms...

it sounds like you want to keep your users from viewing the database window.
click tools | startup | uncheck the "display database window" checkbox.
There are some other interesting options there also which you should try on a
*COPY* of your database as you can lock yourself out. You can view the
database window by pressing F11 (as your users can also if they know it.).
Here's a link to Albert Kallal's website which you should search for "bypass
shift key".

Or, if this is all elementary to you and I have totally mis-understood your
post (my wife says I do this all the time), I apologize.
