how to secure the data at custom properties

[CustomProperties]

i try to connect my visio shape with ms access,its works, but now the
problems is how can i prevent the info of the shape from any changes at
custom properties? I just want the info can be view but cannot be changes.

Often requested, but I don't think there's a real good way to do this. You
can wrap custom property values in a GUARD() formula inside of the
ShapeSheet (scary stuff), but then this will probably screw up the link to
the database.

You can make sure that the database info is always updated when the document
is loaded somehow, make the documents read-only so users can't save them, or
just publish the drawing as a web page. Then users can view the custom
properties, but can't change the drawings.

Sorry I don't have a better answer for you.
