Open a Form in Read Only or Edit Mode FROM SWITCHBOARD

[skelley]

Is there a way to have one (1) form open in either read only mode or edit mode from an Access Switchboard?

For the moment I have two (2)forms. One with the properties set to read only and the other not.

Every time I make a change to one, I have to recreate the other by saving it as "formname - read only" and then changing the properties to "No Edits".

The switchboard doesn't give you to option to open the form in read only mode so you could create a macro to open the form in read only mode and then assign the switchboard function to the macro. You could then assign another switchboard function to open the same form in edit mode.
