Hi,
I have set up a form that has a series of related sub-forms on Tab controls
(it's a Contact management database, so the subforms/tabs contain information
on Membership type, Publications, each contact event with the individual, and
so on).
I'd like the forms to be Read Only until the user specifically chooses to
edit a record, to prevent accidental changes. I tried doing this by setting
AllowEdits=False
on the main form and then creating buttons that update to AllowEdits=True.
When I set the main form edits to false, though, all of the subforms
disappear from the tab controls. It's not that they are locked - they are
simply not there.
Any suggestions? Oh, I am using Access 2000.
