Thanks for the quick response! So then based on this I assume there is
different behavior based on whether you are opening a form based on a table
that you have no permission on entirely or you are opening a form based on a
table that you are restricted from a few fields but have access to other
fields. Just want to make sure I understand if this is a distinction because
I have opened a form based on a table that the user has no permission on and
I did not receive any errors, just no data. More specifically, it was a
listBox control that gets data from a query of the sql server table. The
list box just remained empty. no error.

thanks again.
