Having read only access to a group form in Forms
Is it really not possible to add a form to a group and restrict access to group members as read only/fill-able rather than full owner access? If so is it possible for this feature to be added, me...

This is an update from Microsoft this morning, This will resolve my problem.
Thanks Microsoft!

Jacob_PorterHow about a simple file key, whats in the file doesn't matter, just the fact that it exists.
Not overly secure if a non-admin figures out your method/key etc.
Or may not suit your needs at all but might also give you other ideas for thinking outside the box.
Public Function FileExists(ByVal path_ As String) As Boolean
FileExists = (Len(Dir(FilePathName)) > 0)
End Function
Put the file on the PC who is to be admin.
Then simply on your form.
OnCurrent
If FileExists = True then
Call procedure to Unlock/enable controls
else
Call procedure to Lock/Disable controls
End
The other way is a lot more involved to create log-in forms, tables of usersnames/passwords/permissions etc then its contained within the DB itself.
