Forms and editting data/red only

In the training for advance Access 2003. why is the form read only even though the properstis sheo that it can be eddited and added to.
(form was something to do with employees and we wrote a macro to advise that data couldnot be edditted).

RE: forms and editting data/red only

Hi Val

The form itself can be edited if opened directly from the Forms section.

If you open the form using a macro the instructions set up in the macro to make the form read-only overide the forms default properties.

So although the form can be edited when you run the macro the form becomes read-only.

Hope this helps

Carlos
