Read Only Form

[PizMac]

I want to open a form sometimes as read only - I have tried both me.allowedits=false, openform.........acReadOnly

BUT
it only sets this after going to a subform and back - I can change the data on first entry, but as soon as I switch (the form loses the focus?) and come back then I cant change it - how do i get it to stop me at all times?

 

[hymn]

in the properties of the form
Allow edits = no
allow deletions = no
bla bla bla

Hope this helps

No - sorry - doesn't help - I don't want to do it always - just soemtimes - which is why I need to put it in code and can't have it permanently set...
