Making Options unchangeable

[dc]

Is there a way to have the options I set on my pc reflect the same on someone
elses pc? Currently I have found that although my options showed that the
tables, queries, forms, etc. with hidden checked on properties worked fine on
my pc but if I opened the same database on someone elses pc the options didnt
follow the database.

Hi.

elses pc?

No. It's a Windows Registry setting, not a database option setting. Each
computer's settings affect all database applications opened on _that_
computer.

Some of the options are relevant to the current database and some are global
properties and it is not easy to determine which. You can control these
options yourself by putting code in the opening form of your application to
save the current settings, change them to what you want, and then change
them back when your application closes.

It would be considered intrusive if you simply changed the settings without
restoring the original values.
