I have an update form which retrieve data from an Access DB. Everything works great. My question is that I want to use this same update form for both Access level (Admin, User) but, if "Admin" login in, he will have access to update everything. If a "User" logged in, he will have limited access to update to certain field. Basically, can you hide some of the fields in the form depending on your access level?
Thanks

You can hide anything you like based on the value held in a variable. If you are using the standard UD log in server behaviour the session variable created for user acces level is MM_UserAuthorization, so you can hide a textfield like this:

<% If Session("MM_UserAuthorization" <> 1 Then %>
<input type="text" name="WhatEver" value="<%= RecordsetName.Fields.Item("YourFieldName".Value %>">
<% End If %>
