I don't want my users to open the db but I do need them to be able to run a canned query or open a form.
Can forms and queries be run from an icon on a remote user's desktop?
Thanks - rev

Not that I know of. An option you do have however is splitting the database. you can have the backend which only you have access to on a network drive and the front end on each user's desktop. The tables will be located on the backend and queries/forms will be located on the frontend. this will keep your IDtenTs from screwing things up =]
Thanks! As long as I can keep sticky fingers out of my work
np. please mark the thread as solved so that your question can be useful to others.
take care.
You might also consider distributing an mde/accde to users, which will prevent them from changing form/report designs or viewing code.
Thanks but it's my first day, I have no idea what I'm doing...or what that is.
You'll find the Access help system to be a valuable tool. There's a lot of info on these there.
