How to Turn Off WRITE capability in MS Access?

[Quan G]

Ho do I turn off the Write capability in MS Access? My boss is afraid someone will corrupt the database by writing to it by accident.

Thanks!

Thanks for your speedy reply. How do I set this so it is invisible to the user?

Imbed it in the shortcut that your users currently click on to activate the application. You would just modify the command line shown in the properties section to add the /RO switch.
Alternatively,t he switch can be entered in Tools < Startup properties. where the Database path is shown.
