Open FE in "Read Only"

A

alhotch

I have a FE/BE database with 9 active users (WinXP Pro). All works fine as
each user has R/W/D access. I want to add another user who will only have
READ access to the back end. How do I "lock" the FE on this user so it can
only "see" the same DB as the other 9 R/W users ?

The quickest and easiest way is to give this new user a separate front end in
which all forms are read only and/or only has reports in it.

Thanks, Lynn. I have about 20 forms and 10 reports in the FE so making
changes for this "Read Only" FE shouldn't be a problem. Thanks again for your
suggestion.
