I am an Access novice and I need to keep people from altering the records
(other than myself).  I have several tables, queries and reports.  I have
tried using the User-Level Security Wizard which works except that it locks
me out as well.  I also make sure that I am listed as the admin. and I am the
owner.  Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance.

ULS has been removed from Access 2007's new accdb format (hint, hint).

A simple solution would be to ask Windows who is logged in:
http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0008.htm , and if it is other than
you, you set Me.AllowEdits to false.

You may also want to take a look to see if the database security has the
"Open Exclusivly" option selected.
