Hide Properties

Hi,
I made an MDE file and it cannot go to design mode, but right-clicking a
field displays the properties of each field and they can be modified.

How do you keep the properties from showing in mde files?

thank you,
Karl

MDEs only prohibit design changes of code-based objects (forms, reports,
modules). For anything else you would have to use the options in Startup and/or
User Level Security.

Thank you, Rick! I'll study that area.

To prevent uses from changing field properties you set the properties to
Design View Only. To do this open the mdb file that your mde was created from
and open a form in design view. Open the properties window for the form by
clicking View on the menu and than properties. Select the tab labeled Other.
For Allow Design Changes choose "Design View Only". This will prevent changes
to the properties of ALL fields in the form.

Hope this helps!
