Open Form In Edit Mode For Current Record

[Debra Washington via AccessMonster.com]

I have a read only form with a edit button to open a NEW form to edit the
current record. This new form is already created, but when i click on the
edit button i get an error that the table is already open and can't be
modified.

please help if you have a solution.

Thanks!

The record is opened already on the first form. You can't be looking
at a record on one form, while simultaneously changing the same record
on another form!

The simplest way to do this is - rather than opening another form -
simply changing the first form's AllowEdits property.

Alternatively, you can include code in the first form to move off the
record prior to popping up the edit form.
