Restricting Access to Fields
If you want to keep certain fields from displaying when tables are browsed or used in a form, you can set a field filter to restrict access to those fields. You select the fields you want to display, which leaves the remaining fields inaccessible.
To set a field filter
- From the Table menu, choose Properties.
- In the Work Area Properties dialog box, under Allow access to, select Only fields specified by 'field filter' and choose Field Filter.
- In the Field Picker dialog box, add the fields you want to the Selected fields column and choose OK.
When you browse the table, only fields you selected in the field filter are displayed.
