> Will it also keep them from getting into some of the menu stuff? YES exactly. When you create the form, you can hide the toolbar, hide menu items, or = make available any custom toolbar you wish. Once the form is locked = inside the MDE, it can't be opened in design view and ultimately they = are stuck with what ever you give them. Sorry, but in my last post... > It's real good for you users who only "think" they know what they're doing. Should have read It's real good for "YOUR" users who only "think" they know what they're doing. I think I've left off the "R" in "your" at least a thousand times. Most = times you can spot the fact that it is a mistake, but in this case, I = hope you didn't think I was being a rude s.o.b. hahahaha Peter C. Stuart, Florida ?

Will it also keep them from getting into some of the menu stuff? For example....I know in a form, you can go to the Records menu and choose Data Entry so you only see the one form you are working on and I always figured there had to be a way to keep users from turning this off...is THIS what an mde is used for? And, well, I lived in Vermont for 18 years, so this snow we are having today is nothing (about 10 inches)....but in Pennsylvania when we get more than 3 inches, everything shuts down LOL (and these people have NO clue how to drive in this stuff, so I stay off the roads!!)

It snowed here back in "23". (not that I am that old). I see pictures of =3D it in our Town Hall. A huge 2 inches!! Unfortunately it was all gone by =3D 10 AM after the sun came up a little.
