Allow Edits "no" disables subform

[Guest]

I have a main form with a 2 subforms. When I set the allow edits to "no", I
can no longer view the field boxes on my two subforms.

Any suggestions?

Thanks so much!

I would expect you wouldn't be able to edit controls in the subform, not
even beign able to view them??? Anyway, one thing you might want to try,
is to reset allow edits to yes on the main form, and set the Locked
property for all other controls on the main form to Yes. This way no
changes will be possible in the main form, while they will be possible
in the subforms.

HTH,

The problem is, I want the entire form (main and sub) to not allow edits -
some users are not allowed to make any changes to the database. They simply
need to view information. Could I lock all the controls (main and sub)? Why
do the textboxes disappear when I choose AllowEdits No?

Thanks again,
Donna

That's the funny part... I can't imagine why, they shouldn't.
