I thought I would start one of these up for Access.
First Create a table named "Table1", this is your decoy table. Then copy the table and name it "Select * From Table1" (Yes access will let you do this.) Then using dao set the attributes property of "Select * From Table1" to 2 and do the right click/hide thing so it will not show unless system objects and hidden objects both are visible. Set up a form calling this table. Then ask your local "Expert" to add a field to table1 and then put it in the form.

Sit back and wait.
