Description
Specifies whether a table is read-only for this application.
Use the ReadOnly property to prevent users from updating, inserting, or deleting data in the table. By default, ReadOnly is false, meaning users can potentially alter a table's data.
Note: Even if ReadOnly is false, users may not be able to modify or add data to a table. Other factors, such as insufficient SQL privileges for the application or its current user may prevent successful alterations.
To guarantee that users cannot modify or add data to a table,
1 Set the Active property to false.
2 Set ReadOnly to true.
When ReadOnly is true, the table's CanModify property is false.
