asked on 

ms access 2k10 navigation pane, how to freeze to acustom category

Have a split db app in ms access 2k10 that uses the Nav pane custom categories for various user groups to only see those options/tasks appropriate to their group. I know what user is logged in and would like to "freeze" their Nav Pane view such that they cannot change to any other view. This would be a much preferred approach over having multiple front-ends.

If you have a database built with A2003 or earlier that has a Switchboard form and Switchboard Items table, it would be simple to add a new column to the Switchboard Items table and you could use that to control what Items are allowed based on who is logged in.  Newer versions of the Switchboard are controlled by embedded macros and so would be more difficult to customize.
