Syntax for allow edits and addittions

[NNothard]

Hi just a quick question

Could someone please help me with the correct syntax for changing the allow edits and additions property on a form in code.

I have a form which is locked for these things but I want to allow some users the ability to open the form in edit mode in order to add new entries.

Thanks in advance.

Nic

Open Form in Edit / Read-Only

There are several ways, please see 2 possibilities below :-

Button on Form code :-

Me.AllowEdits = False
Me.AllowDeletions = False
Me.AllowAdditions = False

Me.AllowEdits = True
Me.AllowDeletions = True
Me.AllowAdditions = True



To Open from another Form :-

DoCmd.OpenForm "Form1", , , , acFormReadOnly
DoCmd.OpenForm "Form1", , , , acFormEdit

Hope this gets you going in the right direction.

Hi to everyone, it's my first post here. I am interested in a similar button. I worked with VBA on excel, but here in access i am finding more problems...

Could you define more precisely where i should write that code and/or link it to the button? And i i want to use a checkbox?

Thanks in advance!​
