Don't think there is anyway to prohit another programmer from changing the data in a datatable.

One of the lock types was adLockReadOnly. Thus it was possible to return a reference to an existing ADO recordset and have read only behaviour. What is the best way to allow a client to obtain a reference to an existing ADO.NET data table and also have read only behaviour?. thanks, Greg You can read messages from the DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
