samer,

You can use the button to:

Me.SomeControl.Enabled = False

Where SomeControl is the name of your object(s).

Thanks for replying to my question, but what is happening are this:
This form is a work order I may need keeping it open for some time.
But when the job is finish, I want to disable entering data into this
Job order,
I have got two work orders: 10010 & 10020
10010 is a finish work order I want to close it, I think by disabling
The form but:
I want to keep the 10020 open for more entries.
When I use your code I can close fields in WrkOrd 10010 which is
Finished, and it will close the 10020 too.
I want it to close certain WrkOrd with the whole fields into it, but not
The next WrkOrd.
Any help …..

Have one more field in the table called Locked and make it a yes/no field.

When the record is finally locked, set the control bound to the field to true.

In the form's current event put something like:

If Me.chkLocked Then
    Me.AllowEdits = False

Else
    Me.AllowEdits = True
End If

Question

How do I do this: set the control bound to the field to true. I am trying to employ the same concept.
