Access read only

Hi I have a couple of reports in Access that a few others need to be able to view. I've built a form as a swtich board to open these report. Is there a way I can hide everything else in the database when open as normal, and just show this report page? I have seen something similar before.

Also can Access be open as read only without typing in any password?

Many thanks in advance.

Lu

Access tip:

Deleting duplicate records from a table

You cannot delete records tables where there duplicate records. A way around this is to create a new table which wont hold the duplicates. and then deleting the old table.

1. Use a make-table query based on this table only. IMPORTANT - Ensure that you include all of the fields from your original table or you may loose data.

2. Open the query's property sheet by using VIEW, QUERY, PROPERTIES, and set the Unique Values property to Yes

3. Because you have selected the Unique Values to Yes when you run the query, Access creates a new table without duplicate records. You can now delete the old table and rename the new one.
