Lock form after a checkbox is check

[Mail Merge Help]

Hi

I have a form with many fields that contain project details.
I have a checkbox, to close a completed project.

Could any one help me how to write a code to lock the whole form when this
checkbox is check. Say the form name is APF_Project
ControlName is cboProjectClosed.

Thank you very much

In the AfterUpdate event of the checkbox, you should be able to put this line:

Me.AllowEdits = False


This will keep the user from editing any data in existing records, but does
so for the whole form, not the record (so if you want to edit a different
record you will have to turn it back on from the OnCurrent event of the form).

Me.AllowDeletions
