    Im talking about when you right click on the table you have the options save, design view, etc... With forms I can just under the property sheet / other tab set the shortcut menu to no and this disables the right click function on the form. How can I do that with tables? I ask because there is one table in my database that is a basic "contacts" table that I would like to leave as a table for simplicity reasons but I dont want the end users to be able to view the design properties.

    This has to be said:

    Database Security Rule Number One

    "Never let the end users see the tables or the queries."

    Normally I would agree and if there is no way to remove the shortcut menu then I will set this table up as a form but it would just be easier in this circumstance. All users which is only going to be 3 not including myself will make changes as necessary to this table. I just assume let them change the table. This table has nothing to do with any other table form query or report in the DB. It's basically just a visual reference to contacts within our office building and their office phone numbers. I can make it a report or form, I'd just rather not.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
