Anyone good with MS Access?
So I have this database you see. It needs to be secured so that no one can edit the information in it without a password. Here's the kicker: I want people to be able to read the information, which rules out the standard Security password. I've been told that this can be done through something called "User Level Security" but I don't know how to do it, I've tried... a bazillion times. I even managed to delete one of my copies of the database in the process. It's been one giant epic fail.

Can anyone help me out here?

See, I was trying to be more general, using words like "password protection". Clearly I went about this the wrong way!
