Set your form's Allow Deletions property to NO if they aren't supposed to be
able to delete records. (data tab of form properties)

Thanks for setting me right here.

I tried a test as you said and lo and behold it worked.

I've since questioned the two operators and one of them sheepishly
admitted he'd deleted a record.

So there ya go - I've learnt something there thank you so much.

And the op will tell me next time he deletes something.

Fortunately no harm done this time.

Thanks again

:-)
