Securing only certain forms?

[blue.flip.flops]

In a Database I'm attempting to create, I need certain forms to be
visible to one user group; and other forms to be invisble to them. One
of the forms that needs to be visible has a link to a forbidden form
and, unfortunatly, has to stay that way unless there is a way to have a
different form open at Startup for different users.

I created the users in the Tools > security > User and Group Accounts
menu.

Any help would be appreciated, bearing in mind I'm working on this on a
school system.

Thanks,
Naomi.

This can be done with user level security, but there is WAY more to setting up
security then simply going to the security menu and creating users. If you have
not followed to the letter an explicit step by step set of instructions then
anything you have done up to now in this regard has been a waste of time.

In addition to Rick's comments, you can code Access to open up forms
depending on which user is logged on. If you're on a client-server network
then this needn't involve setting up user-level security, which is a major
undertaking. It all depends on what level of security you're looking for
and what security risks you need to mitigate - bear in mind that a
determined hacker can break Access security with the right tools.
