command button for allow edits

[phineas629]

I want to emphasize users to be careful of editing data in a specific table, but I want them to be able to fix previous data entry errors.

I know i can go into the data tab of property and select "no" for 'Allow edits'. Is there a code or something I can put into a command button to change "Allow edits" to a "Yes'?

Or is there another strategy to limit accidental changes to data?



Btw, I'm still new to learning codes.

Thanks

In a word, yes.
Put a button on your form and set it's OnClick property to Event Procedure. Click on the ellipsis (far right of the line) to create the procedure. You should see something like Subroutine Button1_OnClick.
Using VBA code, set
Namex.AllowEdits=True
After the update, you may want another event procedure reset the AllowEdits to No.
