Editing Records
How can I secure only certain fields of previously entered records on a form
from being edited, while still allowing the other fields to be edited and still be able to add new records? I have used the General Ledger Account Template for Access 2003 as a foundation for my database. I have a form that is made of controls that draw from two separate tables. The form is intended for users to enter new records with content required for every field except three checkboxes. I want to prevent the user from being able to edit any of the required fields for previously entered records but allow them to edit the checkboxes at will.

Editing Records
You can use the 'locked' property of a control to prevent it from being edited.

I tried that. It does prevent editing, but it also prevents me from being
able to enter anything in that control field for new records. "PJones" wrote: You can use the 'locked' property of a control to prevent it from being edited.
