Chris,

You could create a security table that held security levels for edit and read for each of your secire fields. Then put a method in your frmSecure form class that looks up the ControlSource for each control in the security table. Depending on the current users security level you can set the .Visible = .f. to hide the control from the user, set the .Enabled = .f. to prevent them from editting. If you call this method from the Form.Init() it'll happen before the user sees the form.
