Thanks for all of the replies, I was thinking the same thing about not letting them in. Hopefully it is not an impossible fight to win with management. Assuming I go down the replica database route what would be the suggested way to set that up? Is there a specific replication task that can be

I agree with Troy--setup a replica database. We have two "classes" of people that desperately feel they need access to our data. For 1 set, the replica is what they get, and it works perfectly for their needs. There's another set of people who, through mainly political maneuvering, convinced
