    Question How to protect a table


    Can anyone please help me, I want to protect some tables in Access 2016. I can see a few ways on Google on how to do this but none of them work for me.

    I just want to password protect a few critical tables so that people don't mess them up.

    Thanks,

    There is no sure fire way to protect a table unless you are using SQL Server. Perhaps you should explain what exactly you are protecting the tables from as your Users should be interacting with the data via Forms.
