Anyone know a way to make all access to a linked table, in another
Access MDB, read only?
I really don't want all the hassle of implementing full access security.
I can't do this at the server file system because in some front ends the
user needs update access.
I want to give users access to the data for reporting with their own
queries and reports. I just don't want to take a chance on them
updating the data via such tools.

You are correct, but read this first. http://www.mvps.org/access/bugs/bugs0036.htm

Does this apply to the .SetHiddenAttri bute method of the
Application object, too? Available starting with the 2000
version, I think.
application.set hiddenattribute actable, "mytable", true

I don't know. Actually, it appears that in newer versions of Access that
this bug may be fixed (whenever I've tried it the bug hasn't happened), but
there has been no official word that I'm aware of that the bug was fixed.

This thread is helpful. I have a situation where I am Linking a bunch of
different DB Tables to a laptop for work. I want all the DB's on the laptop
to be Read Only but I can only find info on how to make the Forms Read Only.
Can I lock down all the linked Tables on my Laptop?
Thanks,
Robert

could make the queries "Snapshots" . Snapshots are read only and any
subsequent object based on that query will also be read only for data
that comes from that query. Also, reports aren't a problem, there is no
editing data that the user can do in a report. The problem would come it
if you give them access to a form or query (or the table itself) that is
read/write.
GREAT.
In the interim read about a way to relate the table to a table in a
read-only db and use the resultant query.
Your's is cleaner. And I understand I can hide the linked table entry
(but not sure how to unhide it to see it again).

Hello
In order to perform a hetrogeneous join (I think that's what they're called)
between MySQL and another database, I've created an Access database
containing linked tables from each datasource.
I create the linked tables without any problems, clicking on "save password"
before selecting the desired tables. I can then access both tables fine from
within the Access GUI.

I have ODBC linked tables to a SQL 7 database in an A2K database. The linked

Greetings,
I'm having a very strange problem in an AC97 MDB with ODBC Linked tables
to SQL Server 7. The table has an Identity field and a Timestamp field.
The problem is that when a new record is entered, either from a form or
from the table view of the table, when the record gets saved it
immediately displays #DELETED# in all of the fields. However, if I close
the form or table view and reopen the record has in fact been inserted.

If you have access to the database that the linked table is in, modify
it there. You can't modify a linked table. Alternatively, you can
import the linked table, then it won't be linked any more and you can
modify it. There are potential problems with this strategy, as you will
be working on a copy of the original table, so any new data that goes
into the original table from elsewhere will not be reflected in your
database.
