Re Access 2003

I have developed a security framework which sets the AllowEdits,
AllowAdditions & AllowDeletions accordingly: 1=No Access (form closes),
2=Read Only & 3=Full Access. This all takes place in the Form_Load event. If
set to read only, the user can view, but cannot edit or add a record.
This all works fine when the user is typing directly into text boxes etc.

The problem:
I have a button in the detail section on the form, which uses the Windows
file dialog to add the full path/filename to a locked textbox on each record.
When the user selects a file this way, Access suddenly switches the form to
be editable - all of its own accord :o(

I can, of course, disable the button if the form is opened as Read Only, but
is this normal behaviour from Access??

Many thanks.
 
Tested and verified.

Seems obvious when you put it like that.

Many thanks Linq
