How can I restrict printing in a DB

Talenhawk

I want users to be able to view and change data, but I don't want them
to ever be able to print it. Is there a way to turn off or restrict
printing on a database?

There is no practical way -- even if you were able to block all the normal
means, you really can't easily disable PrtScr.

Well, I suppose you could give them access to the DB on a machine with no
local printer and no connection to a network printer.

I'm not worried about stopping it at that level. My users have almost
no computer knowledge. I just want to keep them from printing the
reports and forms.

An idea (and not totally thought thru) if you could set up the printer
redirect to a null device that might work. Level of security would
depend on numerous factors (what OS, user privilege level, use
knowlege, etc.) Also IIRC, you can 'remove' menu choices in Access so
if you take away the printing options (or at least printer setup) that
might get you there also. Remember, I have not gave this great thought
so YMMV.
