Hello,
I have two database applications and they are:
- the (A) application is for administration use.
- the (B) application is for normal users use.
the idea is that: I made the (A) application for administrators who have full control over the database objects (tables, forms, queries, and so on ...).
the (B) application I have created for normal users who will have only to use forms to insert some data and display data only.
but the two applications has a respective table called "vacation request" table. where I linked them, so the both administrators and users can share the data.
The real question is that: How can I prevent the users from seeing the database objects in their application. I used the database options which have helped me in hidding the database objectives when the users open the application, but unfortunately they managed to access to the database objects by pressing the special keys.
I would like to have an access to the (B) application when I want to make some modifications to the forms and then lock it from users where they only have to use the forms for requesting vacations and view the vacations.
Please help me in this case ... the users are ruining and playing all my data.

The fastest and easiest, although not the most effective, method of not allowing Users to see various Database Objects is: - Select Object(s) in the Database Window.
- Right Click on Object then Properties.
- Click on attributes ==> Hidden Check Box.
- The Object(s) will no longer be visible in the Database Window.
- You should disallow certain Menu/Shortcut Menu Options so that savy Users cannot reverse the process and Uncheck the Hidden Attribute.
- These steps are just a band aid and are not meant to replace a comprehensive Security System on your Database.
Thanks, it was very useful ... you were a big help (^_^) but don't get tired of my questions .. because I am a very naughty person (^_^).
Anyway, thanks a lot for your concern and assistance. If there is any better way to apply band security to my (B) Application, please provide I would be more delighted to learn it and will be tracking every reply.

Applying User Level Security to your 'B' Application wouold be the opimal way to secure but definately not the easiest. You can attempt the: - Tools
- Security
- User-Level Security Wizard
- If you do this, make a backup copy of your database and also your System.mdw (Workgroup) file.
- BTW: I left you a message concerning your other problem
