changing properties of a closed form

[Emmanuelle]

Hi all
Here is my problem:

I have a form containing a subform showing dataset delivered monthly. The user selects the name of a dataset in a combo box and can view automatically in the subform the changes
that was done to the dataset overtime. The subform's source object is a form called databasesubf.
The properties allowadditions and allowedits of databasesubf are set to false. When the user click in one of my command buttons "new", I want these properties to be set to true to allow the user to add information.
Is it possible to change these property in VBA without opening the form databasesubf?

many thanks

yes.
me!databasesubf.allowedits=true
make sure that you use the correct name of the subform.
