    Locking the design and Layout views

    How can I prevent a user from going into the Design and Layout views of a form that I made to make unauthorized changes?

    I have the database password protected, and the data files are hidden, but the user can still access the views options.



    thx

    Steve

    Create ACCDE version, but make sure that you keep a copy of your original incase you need to make changes.
