How do you keep users from changing reports and forms

What I would like to do is set my database so that the users can add,
change, and delete data on the forms and print the reports, but not modify
the forms, the reports, the table layouts, or use the datasheet to modify
tables. How do I do this?

Read MS's knowledgebase article on security.
Back up the entire hard disk drive.
Reread the security knowledgebase again.
Make a copy of the database you wish to secure.
Implement security on the copy.
If you mess up, restore from the backup. (repeat as necessary).
Once you have everything working to your satisfaction, repeat on
the original .mdb

Alternative, create a .mde and make them use that. keep the .mdb
safe for when you need to make changes.
