    Make subreport read only on a form


    I have a form where I have a set of comboboxes that are used for choosing criteria in the query used to populate the subreport. I want to use this subreport for display only but if I set the form
    'Split Form Datasheet' property to Read Only, it does not allow me to select a value in my criteria combo boxes. The subreport control itself has no read-only property. Is there any way to pull this off?

    If you don't have your report set up in a way that allows data entry, I wouldn't think that you would need to make it read only.

    Try setting the bound controls as Locked Yes, TabStop No.
