ms access training - Protecting a form

Yes Jill you can.

Go to the design view of the form you want to lock.
On the very top left corner, you will see a square - double click on it.
This sdhows the properties on the entire form.
Go to the data tab, and set the ALLOW fields to "no" (ie. ALLOWADD, ALLOWEDIT etc.).
Test the form as you go along to create the result you are looking for.

If users are using a switchboard to open the form, you can set the properties to be read only, via the controls on the switchboard manager. Ask if you want to know more.
