prevent data entry directly in a table
hi folks.
recently - last week or two, i think - somebody a question about tables or possibly about trying to secure the database. there were a number of posts in the thread; and someone explained a way to prevent data entry directly in a table while still allowing it via a bound form. it had to do with either, i believe, manipulating a table property/setting via VBA, or doing something to the table directly - like a certain prefix to the name. i thought i had copied and saved that post into a Word doc, but now i can't find it for the life of me. does anyone remember seeing that info? sorry for the vague description, but if i could remember all the details i'd know how to do it already. g tia! |

I don't recall that one, but have you tried using Google.com, under the msAccess databases group, to search for it? -- Good luck Jeff Boyce Access MVP |

prevent data entry directly in a table
i did a Find from Outlook Express, which is where i access all the
newsgroups from. came up empty - but then, i don't remember the date of the post(s), or the subject line, or who posted that solution.... i would just about swear it was something about changing the table names or a table setting - something like a MySys or SysObj - you know, something odd. i tried searching on both of those, in the text of *all* messages of *all* groups i follow, but - nothing. this is driving me crazy! i know i didn't dream it - or did i?!

prevent data entry directly in a table
in case anybody's interested, i found it; but i didn't read it in a post. it
was a snippet of code contained in a book review (published in the May issue of Smart Access) of Real World Microsoft Access Database Protection and Security by Garry Robinson. i guess i know what i'll be doing with that jar of pennies i've been saving up!
