I want to restrict users from updating, input, or delete from the tables and
only allow these functions using forms.  Bascially I do not want any users in
the tables.  I have tried multiple combinations of the user security features
but if I allow read only to the table - when the user opens the form and
inputs the data and then clicks on the button to run the update query - it
fails due to the security setting.  If I allow update then the user can open
the table and update which I need to prevent.
Any suggestions?
TIA
Cindy

You can remove all permissions from the tables, and use run with owner
permission (RWOP) queries for all data interaction.  Read about it at
