ACC: How to Set Security for Modifying Data in a Query Dynaset

• Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 7.0, 97

SUMMARY

Advanced: Requires expert coding, interoperability, and multiuser skills.

You can affect a user's ability to edit data in a query's dynaset by changing the settings for the following two permissions:

• Run With Owner's Permissions, for a query



• Modify Data, for a query and any underlying tables

MORE INFORMATION

For a user to be able to edit a query's dynaset, one of the following must be true:

• The Run Permissions property must be set to Owner's. To set this property, click Properties on the View menu when the query is open in Design view.



• The Modify Data check box must be selected for both the query and the underlying tables. To select this check box, point to Security on the Tools menu, and then click User and Group Permissions (or click Permissions on the Tools menu in versions 1.x and 2.0). You must perform this step for each object for which you want to assign permissions.
