    Lock a column

    Folks -

    A lot of my distinguished colleagues use my (yes, MY) Access 2007 database. I have one column of information that is particularly important. Is there any way that I can "lock" a column so that only I can make changes to it?

    The rest of the database is very user friendly and everyone uses it without a problem.

    help!

    thanks!

    PS - if we're using code for this, I'm really going to need step by step instructions. I have NO code in the DB, because I can't make it work. Think NEWBIE newbie.

    Thanks! :-)

    You will need to explain where this column of data is found. Is it in a table? A Query? A Form?

      It's in a table that I have used to populate a form.

      Thanks!

        You can control the data in the form - but not in the table directly.

          Okay, how do I do that?

          Most of the team use the form anyway.

              I can see why they come to you for the database :)
