Coding forms

[Guest]

I have a form with contact info, but i don't want it to be active upon
opening it because I don't want the people using it to accidentally edit any
of the contact details. But in case some fields change like the last name or
number or email, I want to add a command button to click on that will allow
them to open the "edit" version of the form and updating the contact info.

If there are no other controls that can have their value
changed, you can set the form's AllowEdits property.

If some unbound controls are used to navigate or select
records, then set Lock property of the ones you don't want
to be edit.
