Is it possible to create password protection for the tables in the MS Access DB?

Hello all,

Do you know the best method or functions to password protect the tables in the database? As I found out that my records in the tables are being changed, and if this continues, my data will be inaccurate.

Many thanks in advance for your help(:
APPRECIATED

Cheers,
Nicole

Just make sure that the users can only access your tables using the forms.
I normally use a startup form to let the user login.
Tables can be set to "Hidden" and using the Tools/Startup you can disable the access to the database. Just check the possibilities in the Help file, but make sure you have a not protected copy for yourself as excluding yourself would make future changes impossible....
