Read-Only Form (Allow Edits, Deletions, Additions = NO) not workin

[Guest]

I have a split database and would like to have two versions of the front end.
One version would allow full access to view, edit, and create records. The
second version would only allow viewing of the records and reports.

I opened the main data entry forms and set the following properties:
Allow Edits = No
Allow Deletions = No
Allow Additions = No

I can still edit, delete, and add records to in this form. Am I missing
something?

Thanks in Advance,
Rich

This will be a maintenance nightmare! You will have to make all changes in
two places. I would not do it. You can programatically switch those
properties when the form is opened depending upon the logged-on user.

That makes sense especially since I have 4 different entry forms. I tried to
do this programatically with the DoCmd.OpenForm (formname, , , ,
acFormReadOnly) but it did not work either. Any ideas?

Does having this database split make any difference?
