Restricting Editing of records

[Joe Williams]

I have a table and form that records the username that entered the record
via the currentuser() function.

I would like all user to be able to add records, but only allow the user
that entered the original record to be able to edit it.

Is there an easy way to set a form such that the record can only be edited
if the currentuser() matches the ID that is saved in the record?

Tanks

Use the OnCurrent Event on the form

create a new function with the following code

Public Function CheckUserName
Call CurrentUser()
if forms![frmname]![usernamefield] = uservariable1 then
forms!frmname.AllowEdits = true
else
forms!frmName.AllowEdits = false
end if
End Function

and then on the OnCurrent Event on the form Call CurrentUser
