A quick question about table properties

[David]

Hello all:

I have a quick question. If I make a table that I don't want others to see,
I can hide it by going to: Right click Table->Properties->Attributes->Hidden
(True)->Apply

No problem. But, how do I get to see my table again?

Thanks in advance

Easy. Tools, Options, View tab. Check Hidden Objects.

You'll probably see a lot of things that were hidden.

Actually the problem is that it's so easy to unhide. You'll need to depend
on the ignorance of your users not to know this trick. If it's important to
hide the data, for example employee pay info, you need something better such
as user level security and locking out most users from that table.

Jerry, Darryl...thanks for the reply, sorry for the delay, I had to go up
norht on business. Thanks for the answer..easy when you know how! I really
only want to hide a table so that my users can't see, it is not really
"secure" data, just some stuff that I want to experiment with.

Thanks again

Best regards
