Is ther a way to make it so that data cannot be edited in a form?

[offie]

I have a View (seach included) form and an Input Form.


I do not was users to be able to edit the data shown in the View form.
I cannot put int a table because there are a bunch of check marks that I have aligned in a certain.
I was thinking that I could have a report inside a form but I would like to stick with the form I have.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

Check out the Allow Edits property of the form (and Deletions, Additions if appropriate).

Ended up going with Locked properties, thanks didn't know there was so many properties

Thanks!

No problemo!

Sure, because the 'View Form' was also a 'Search Form' you had to use the Locked Property of each Control, rather than the Form's AllowEdits Property; setting AllowEdits to No prevents entering/selecting a search criteria.

So many Properties, so little Time!

Well, "had to" isn't accurate, since it can be done by toggling the AllowEdits property in the appropriate events, but using the Locked property is simpler if the form is only used for read-only viewing.
