Joe, I have a db that allows multiple people can add notes. No One can edit old notes. Each note has a DT stamp,User_ID, and note type. The notes are added via an unbound box. If I wanted to impliment what you described...I would probably add a field to my notes table...and along with DTS and USER...I would add a User_Type to the notes. Dispatchers =D Field supervisor =F manager =M executive notes=E Each time a note is created the User_Type would be populated with one of the above depending on the users level of access. One the form/subform displaying the notes...I would change the data source via VBA(depending on user), the 'where' clause specifically. If a dispatcher is logged in..."where User_Type ='D'"...since Dispatchers cannot add notes...none would be returned. See below: EXAMPLE WHERE CLAUSES Dispatchers =where User_Type ='D' Field supervisor =where User_Type ='D' or User_Type ='F' manager =where User_Type ='D' or User_Type ='F' or User_Type ='M' executive notes=where User_Type ='D' or User_Type ='F' or User_Type ='M' or User_Type='E' Just a thought...
