"As Uncle Gizmo has suggested, there really is no form/linked form construct in Access, other than a main form with a subform embedded in it. Calling/opening one form from another form, if that's what you're talking about, does not create a form/linked form." (quote from Missinglink)
Perhaps what is confusing here is when I said I changed the form from form/subform to form/linked form. I didn't actually change the EXISITING form. I deleted it and used the wizard to create a new form.
If there are no "linked forms" as you and Uncle Gizmo say then what is this wizard doing? (see jpeg). The second form logically behaves exactly like a subform but it is physically separated from the main form. That is what I mean by "linked form" That is the term used by Access 2003.
The first image shows the linked forms wizard and the second shows the forms I created from the wizard. The light blue form is the main form and the darker blue one is the subform. The command button Site Details is the togglelink created by the wizard.
I still need an answer to my original question - why is the subform (linked form) opening with the fields locked instead of disabled?
The first image show the linked form wizard. The second is the result. The third image shows the property settings for Enabled and locked. I hope this clarifies things.
