View Only Form

[XMan]

I have a form that user can add, change, and delete records.
For certain records, I would like to have the whole form in read-only mode.
Is there one property that I can change? Otherwise I have to go through all
controls and make them all locked.
TIA.

For certain records, I would like to have the whole form in read-only
mode. Is there one property that I can change? Otherwise I have to go
through all controls and make them all locked.

The form has properties AllowEdits, AllowAdditions, and AllowDeletions.
You can manipulate these to determine whether the user can edit, add, or
delete records. Note, though, that if you set AllowEdits to False, even
unbound controls on the form can't be modified.

When I make them to false, I can't go to other tabs.
Is this a limitation?

Other tabs on a tab control? Do you mean that if you click one of the
other tabs on a tab control, it won't change pages? I don't seem to
have that problem in a test form. Tell me more about how you have the
form set up and what problem you're having.

I'm rewriting my code to work properly.
Thanks for the help.
