I have a very huge database in MS access 2000.

I want only few people to make changes to it and rest should be able to
display only.

Can someone please show me how to do it ?

mehs,

Look in the Help system under Security.

The short answer is:

* create a workgroup security file
* create user groups and assign table permissions to the groups
* create user accounts and assign users to the groups
Thanks.

DFS is right, but since Access Security is an advanced topic, be sure
to download, study, and fully understand the Access Security FAQ from
microsoft.com *before* applying security.
