I set AllowEdits to False in forms and created a "edit record" button
to se AllowEdits to True as follows:

"
I had a similar way also. For your form go to the Form, Properties,
DataTab and set AllowEdits to NO. Next, create a CommandButton,
without the wizard, and then go to the Properties of the
CommandButton, click on OnEvent then click on CodeBuilder (...) In
there you simply put: Me.AllowEdits = True

Oh, in the Form's Properties on the AfterUpdate Event click on the
CodeBuilder again and type this: Me.AllowEdits = False

Now when your form opens it can't be Edited until you click on the
CommandButton, labeled something like EDIT RECORD. Once you finish
that record and tab out of it you automatically go back to a Non-
Editable form. OR create a CommandButton to set it to Save the record
on demand and set the AllowEdits = False there.
"

Now everything else is fine but delete record button won't work even
when I cliks the button which sets Me.allowedits = True.

error msg is like: command or action "deleterecord" is not usable

What's wrong here?

Forget this, resolved.

There is a separate form property called Allow Deletions
