I have a unique situation in which I need to be able to access a backup copy of my AC Database on a machine different than my main server. Doing so hasn't been an issue, I have a machine that was installed as a primary computer "just in case" my server ever went down and was not immediately restorable. I could restore to the new machine and direct all clients there while the server was repaired/replaced.
However, in this instance, I want to restore an older backup, but have the database be read only. I don't want there to be any ability for changes to be made to patients' records, whether that be demographics/insurance, medication, or problem list changes, or addenda being added to charts.
Is this possible? Can the database files be set to read only somehow?
