    Lightbulb Lookup Box

    Hi, I have a form that I want to use as view form (people can just see the info but can't edit). So in the property window, for Form, I set 'No' to addition, edit etc....Now I have a Combo Drop down that I use to navigate the record. But when I set the Form property to NO, drop down doesn't work. It works when fields on the form are editable. How to update record via drop down but still have the records uneditable? Thanks....

    You can lock controls instead of the form, or toggle the data properties in the focus events of the combo.
