Revisiting this after a year I find it is possible although as KDg indicated it appears that you can only set this property in form design view. I found that opening the required form in hidden,design view, setting the viewsallowed value and then switching the form to normal view achieved the result. However when closing the form you are prompted to save changes. Since it is unlikely that permanent changes are required you would have to code your way around this. I needed to be able to switch the views allowed once the form was open so found myself getting ever more bogged down in this by switching views to design, making the change, switching back and then having to deal with the various 'on load' events being retriggered which was not wanted at this time. All in all it seemed to be getting 'out of hand! However by starting the design of your form from scratch it may be possible to achieve something workable.
