Edit Permissions not working

[Guest]

I created a form that only certain people can open. I want them to be able to
view, but not edit. On the properties box for the the form, I put no for
Allow Edits, Allow Editions, Allow Additions. But I can still go in and make
changes. Any ideas? Thanks!

All controls should be locked if Edits, Deletions, and Additions are set to
No. I'd first try rebuilding your form to make sure you haven't missed
something.

You can try using the code at:

to lock individual controls, if you like.

How are you opening the form? If via the docmd.OpenForm method, or
a macro, make sure that your datamode is set to 'read only'

The data mode/read only in the macro was the clinker!! Thank you so much, Bob!!

If the form is opened Read Only, NO ONE will be able to make any edits.

If the form is opened Read Only, NO ONE will be able to make
any edits.

I believe that's what the original poster specified.
