Re: Creating a Report via VBA

Does that mean that you gave the employees a second FE with only the
ability to generate reports? If so how did you manage to 'remove' the
other functionality in Access?

It did use Access' workgroup security (as well as Informix server security),
but the users to whom we provided the capability were not "rogues", and
read-only access to the data prevented inadvertent update problems. In
fact, I don't think we did remove the other functionality. I can remember
helping one of the users create a form to enter "parameters" and run their
report.

This was in Access 2.0 days, and I don't remember the details of
implementing read-only access from this front end -- quite possibly that was
done with the Informix security.
