size=2>You have led a charmed life indeed, Andy. It isn't the clueless
users who cause problems, it's the ones who think they know something who can't
resist tampering. Those in the first category have never caused me
problems, but I build my apps with the second category in mind because I've seen
(and had to deal with) the results when I didn't. :o{</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

[AccessD] Secured vs. Unsecured FEs<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>Nope. What I
do is set each PC up to run the runtime not full Access. But that's only
on their application icon. They've all got Access if they chose to use it, but
it would have to be a deliberate act on their part.<BR>I can easily imagine
environments in which I'd need to take more precautions, and if users started
to muck about I'd do so. But, in all honesty, I'm fortunate to have users
who:<BR>a) would not deliberately mess anyone around (they're too busy getting
on with their own jobs)<BR>b) wouldn't know how to get into the code window or
anything other than what I give them<BR>c) would be scared stiff if they
accidentally found themselves in part of the database they didn't expect to
(and would get out quick)<BR>d) would request a system change if they needed a
report or analysis they didn't have<BR><BR>I also have a master copy of the FE
on the network and a "Recopy"icon on each desktop. If someone did mess up
their FE all they have to do is hit that.<BR><BR>And before anyone gets the
impression I'm talking about one ideal company I'm not. I've been developing
in Access since v2 at loads of companies and it has never been an issue. I say
again that I'm not promoting this as always the way to go, it just happens to
be my experience and we were asked to share ours.<BR><BR>--<BR>Andy
