Actually it does, although it's a huge fiddle. The plan is to use RWOP
queries for all data access.

First remove all permissions for Users from the tables.

Logging in as an Admin, create selection queries like
 
 SELECT ThisField, ThatField FROM Somewhere
 WITH OWNERACCESS OPTION

and base all the forms, reports, listboxes etc on those queries. Allow
the Users permissions on the queries (read and write; not design), and
the Users will only have access to the particular fields.

Different user groups can have different sets of columns available via
their own queries.

You can use projection queries too (i.e. with WHERE clauses) to restrict
which rows the users can see too.

PS Yes, Allen, I know you knew that, but it seemed an appropriate place
to put it in the thread.. :-)

All the best
