Hello!
I know virtually nothing about Access, and the person who designed my
client's database has vaporized into thin air.
I have a client with an Access 2000 database that has some features locked
out unless one logs into the computer using the "Admin" user name (an actual
name of "Admin" and not to be confused with the Administrator user account).
If they have retail Access 2000 installed on that computer, and the user
logs on as any name except for "admin," the database opens with a restricted
version that does not show some buttons on the front-end GUI that allow
editing paint formulas.
If the computer has the Access 2000 runtime installed, it does not matter
what login name is used, it has the front-end GUI buttons usable. That is a
bozo no-no. Is there any way short of using the retail full Access package
to make the runtime pay attention to security restrictions?
Alternately, are there any low-cost Access replacements that work well?
Thank you!
