Solution: 
Big Business now includes the option to give Read-Only access to Employees who need to search and view records, but not create or modify them.

To Enable this option:
1. Open the Employee Prefs
2. Click the checkbox, Read-Only Access to Searches
3. Save the Employee Prefs

To disable this option, uncheck the checkbox.

To use this option, assign an Employee access to a QuickSearch tool, such as Customer QuickSearch, but remove access to the regular tool, Customer Card. With the Read-Only Access to Searches option enabled, the Employee will be able to use open Customer Cards and view them in Read-Only mode, but will not be able to create or modify Customer Cards.
