[mso] Make Access DB Read Only

Hello All,

How to make an Access database read only?

A friend has installed a desktop computer in a public area for club members to 
consult. He wants to allow anyone to run any of the predefined queries and 
view any of the reports he has designed, but he doesn't want anyone to change 
any of the data or delete any or all of the DB.

The PC is not networked and it is not connected to the internet.

He is using Office 2003 on a WinXP Home SP2 box.

He tried placing the DB in a password-protected non-administrator account, but 
anyone who has the password of the account can still modify the data or delete 
the DB.

Any ideas?
