Is it possible to lock a single record so that it is used as a template?

I have almost 500 records, and I just want to lock the 1st one so that when it pops up, the text isn't editable, but when another record is pulled up, the new record is editable.

Thanks!

Is this for a continuous form? Of course I'm assuming you're using a form for this.

Yes, it is. Thoughts?

Ok, here's what you put in the Current event of your form:

Me.AllowEdits = (Me.CurrentRecord <> 1)
