I like that idea. These researchers (all PhD types) think they know a
lot about Access...
I've seen their work...scary.

Subject: Re: [AccessD] Dialog Box for Creating .txt tables
Where I used to work, we provided a separate .mdb called a Sandbox.
When opened, the Sandbox pulled in a full copy of all the relevant
tables in the BE, and any from the FE, too. Tables that included our
security settings were excluded! Users could "play in the sandbox" all
they wanted, without any danger to the live data. Made them happy and
kept them out of mischief!

William, your statement below has me intrigued.
I am working on a proposal for group of researchers that want to be able
to query the data from a questionnaire that students fill out.
You stated below "you have to provide a custom query engine for the
users."
How do you do that?
Thanks,
Jim

...an mde on a full access install only protects your code, not your
data ...a power user wannabe can use a full install to run queries
against the be data that can do immense and sometimes uncorrectable
damage simply because they only "thimk" they know what they are doing
...I've walked away from
jobs over that issue ...I grant that's a luxury others may not have.
...on the other side, that means you have to provide a custom query
engine for the users to have limited access to find the data they need
without my helping hand ...find the data, not modify it in any way that
I don't control.
