I have this situation:
I have a continuous form that has a header of 10 fields and detail with 3 fields. The question is:
when adding the first record the user fills all the fields.
After that Is there a way to keep the header fields always the same and let the user only add the 3 detail fields? I don't want to be able to edit the header fields at all. the header fields must be the same in all records.
I think i can go around this by using some subforms but I would like to know if there is a way to do this with one single form.
 
Why is the user entering data in any of the fields? and how does this effect what is in the other text boxes?

Can you be more specific on the Text Box controls on your form.

Maybe some of your Header Controls can be unbound.

The Detail part of a continuous form will always show repeated data but if there is nothing to show, you won't see anything.
If you could use an If Then in your Data Source to determine the record count and if greater then 3, then use "" as the text box data.

This may allow only the first three records to display in your form detail.
 
Thank you for the reply.
I guess I wasn't clear about the form. There is no problem viewing records. everything works fine. the question is for entering new data in an empty form.
