Restrict editing

J

I've just started using Access 2007. I haven't had any trouble, but I want to
prevent others from accidentally deleting, or adding to my database. I
understand that I can restrict changes to my database by other viewers by
making the file read only. I have two questions: does this replace the dialog
box that appeared in previous versions, where I could check off "allow" this
or that? And my other question is: the instructions to make the file read
only say to click "Protect Document" from the Review tab. I must really be a
dolt, because I cannot find the Review tab ! Am I reading the instructions
for Excel or Word, and not Access?
