Edit forms in a front end database.

1 New Member
Hi everyone!

I have a front end and back end copy of a database. The backend contains all the tables while the front end contains all the forms link to those tables.
I want my front end users to be able to edit some fields on a specific form and restrict the other fields from editing.
Just want to ask if there's a way to do that?
Thanks a lot!

If you start with a bound form, so that some of your fields are represented by controls on that form, you can choose which fields are represented at all (Those not represented would have no bound control associated); which are visible but not updatable (The bound control is locked); which are fully updatable (The bound control is in its normal state).
