He should not write to your fields in your tables But if he needs to write to his own fields in your tables he should ask you to modify your tables to include his fields He would then be able to write to his fields but not yours He should not be able to append or delete from the tables Alternatively it might be possible for him to maintain his own tables/fields in parallel with yours In my experience this kind of thing can work but it requires a clear understanding and ground rules for who can do what Paul Newton Bernardo Stanfield wrote: > I have a client who wants to develop his own system that will interface with > the one that I have provided and for which I have a maintenance contract.
