When I open my form called frmClients I do not want to let the user to be
able to edit unless they use the edit button. I set the allow edits to "no"
in properties and the edit button is coded on click to Me.AllowEdits = True
Why is the user able to edit the client info without the edit button clicked ?
Thank you for your help!

Do you maybe have code that dirties the record (modifies the value of a
bound control, or a field in the form's recordset)? Once the record is
dirty, even if it was dirtied programmatically, the AllowEdits property is
ignored and the user can make further modifications.
