BTW, one question on your site related to password protecting individual records outside of the locking mechanism created by Access. As I read it, this is not possible. A "password field" scheme, as suggested by the responding member, would work for protecting the data as a whole, but Access itself determines when and where to put a lock on a record, and its decision in this regard is inviolate. In other words, if Access locks a record, the only way to remove the lock is to update the record, or undo changes. The user could change their locking strategy to "No Locks", or MAYBE "Optimistic Locking", but those strategies risk data integrity, and I would not suggest that course of action.
