Combo box and subform issue

[Joe8915]

I have a combo box located in the form called “Frm Add/Edit Payroll”. The combo box is “EE”
What my problem is I do not want to have the user be able to change the name in the combo box once the records have been created with the correct data using the subform. I tried changing the properties of the combo box to where “locked” = Yes. That seem to work, until I wanted to add a new EE, then of course it would not let you accomplish that.
What suggestion would you give to solve the problem?

I have attached the db to view my dilemma.
Thanks for taking the time to view my question.

So what constitutes "correct data using the subform?" You can use the On Current event of the main form to lock/unlock the combo. So, if it is a new record

Me.Employee.Locked = (Me.NewRecord = 0)

Bob thanks for chiming in. If I understand you response "what constitutes "correct data using the sub form?"
I have the sub form using link Master ID on main form with Child wrkdescrp_ID on sub form

I used the following:
Me.Employee.Locked = (Me.NewRecord = 0) On Current event on the main form. I was still able to change the EE drop down from one name to another.
I then changed the field "TblEmp.Employee" to no thinking maybe that was the problem. And still the same dilemma, when adding a New EE I could not add, due to the lock = yes.

Maybe I am not explaining myself very good, which is always my problem.

Here is the bottom line:
1. I do not want the user to be able to change the name in the combo box "EE" when already selected for that record.
2. When selecting "Add EE" I want the user to be able then to select from the com box "EE".

Hell Bob, that even makes a little more sense to me.
