AllowEdits = False on all but one field

[DanG]

Hello,

I am able to use the allowedit property on a form (setting it to false), but it also locks my search field (combobox).

I am trying to avoid using the lock property on all the individual fields if possible.

Thank you

As far as I know, you'll have to set the locked property of the other controls. If you're doing it in design view, you can select them all and do it once. If in code, you can loop through all controls and use the Tag property to just lock the ones you want.

Tag property?
I have seen it, but never utilized it.

I'll look it up, thank you!

Post back if you get stuck and I'll dig up some code.

Got it working!

But what I did was set allowedits to true on the setfocus of the search field in question.

I am going to check out tags as it sounds like a great tool to have at the ready.
