    can a access database table be read-only?

    hey, does anyone know if its possible to make my access database a read only file if its viewed on somebody elses computer??? because i developed a login application which has a database, i did all the users and group permissions and accounts stuff, and even set a password for all my databases. but when i sent the program to a mates laptop, he was able to open and edit the table values in my database on his computer, how can that happen? what can i do to make it be read-only?

    I gave him one on the other forum for goodness sake Allen! I don't repeat myself.

    by the way, how is your life going? How are thing in the Rocky's? Ever do any 4-wheeling up there? I've done about every trail that is in that state. Man, I love it! I'm still hoping and praying that the forest service doesn't close down those old mining roads. Too many drunks are ripping them apart. =(
