Read Only Database
I have a 2000 .mdb that I need to disribute to indviduals with no common
server. Meaning that I have to send the database via e-mail, and each individual operates out of thier own copy of the database. I need to come up with a way to place the distributed database in read only status that cannot be removed. I do not want the individual users to be able to make any changes to the database what so ever. I have found that using permissions will not work, because they will be different from machine to machine. Any setting read only status through the properties menu can be removed. Is there anyway to distribute my database in a read only status that cannot be removed? Thank you in advance for you help. |

Read Only Database
Convert the mdb to mde and apply user level security, but give the default
admin user open/run db and read object/data permissions instead of removing all permissions for the admin user. Don't distribute the secure mdw file with your mde. User's will use the default mdw file to open the db for the limited permissions on the admin user.
