[AccessD] shutting down

A lot of that depends on a lot of things like startup values, right click
menus enabled, main menu defaults enabled etc.

As Drew stated so eloquently, "security is about keeping honest people
honest".  

Chopping off hands is about keeping dishonest people honest.

LOL2! True, read only queries are 'safe'. I just had a knee-jerk reaction
there. 

Then again. Are they really safe? Can't the client just switch to design
view in the query and change the type from Snapshot to Dynaset? Assuming
you're not using Access 'security'.

LOL, well...  I can and do make read-only queries and display them to the
client.  Sometimes viewing data in a tabular format is just useful, and you
can set a property for a query to be read-only.  The client can use all of
the built-in query functionality like sorting on any column (or set of
columns), filtering for specific values etc.  Sometimes they like that.
