AllowAdditions on the Form and the SubForm

Guest

I have a main Form called "A" which includes a SubForm called "B". SubForm B
is a Continuous Form. I've set both of these forms as follows: Allow Edits to
NO, Allow Deletions to NO and Allow Additions to YES.

It turns out that I can add a new record with Form A (that is okay) but not
on the SubForm B. There's no way I can add a new record on my SubForm B
without resetting Form A Allow Edits to YES. I don't understand because
SubForm B is set to allow new records as well...

I want the users to only add new records without being able to modify or
delete the existing data on both forms. I have a button with a macro that
enables changes only by the admin user account and this function works okay.

Any help would be appreciated... Thank you very much in advanced!

I believe that with AllowEdits = No none of the controls on the form (even
unbound controls) can be changed. I've run into this before.
