Form.
You can use the AllowEdits property to specify whether a user can edit saved records using a form.
The AllowEdits property uses the following settings.
Setting | Description | Visual Basic |
Yes | (Default) The user can edit saved records. | True (-1) |
No | The user cant edit saved records. | False (0) |
You can set the AllowEdits property in the forms property sheet, a macro, or using Visual Basic.
You can use the AllowEdits property to prevent changes to all data displayed by a form. If you want to prevent changes to data in a specific control, use the Enabled or Locked properties.
If you want to prevent changes to existing records (make a form read-only), set the AllowAdditions, AllowDeletions, and AllowEdits properties to No. You can also make records read-only by setting the RecordsetType property to Snapshot.
AllowAdditions Property; AllowDeletions Property; DataEntry Property; Enabled, Locked Properties; RecordsetType Property.
See the AllowAdditions property example.
