I've got it now.  Thanks, Charles.

Cindy,

Using user level security you can set the permissions for each object so
only those belonging to the proper groups can read/write/create/delete
certain objects.  The Access Security FAQ was up as of a minute before I
hit the Send button.

Thanks to those who responded to me...

Charles, I couldn't get into the website on Access security.  I guess
what I need to know is - will that type of security prevent users from
seeing the tables (using the shift key, F11?)  

Jim, I inherited the database and yes it's (gasp!) the primary key, so
encryption won't work.  I'm thinking about biting the bullet and
changing the PK to an autonumber.  Any thoughts on that?

David, I'm not letting users into the tables, only forms.  And hidden
tables don't really seem to be hidden. 

Thanks again.

Cindy
