    Prevent Edit or acess to field

    What is the best way (KISS System for old guy) to prevent user from editing a field. In other words I have an "Auto number" field and a field that "Auto Updates" sequential numbers. I do NOT want anyone to access and or change/edit them.



    What is the best way t do that?

    You only let users work with forms and reports. On forms you set the desired controls to locked and/or disabled.
