AllowEdits False and a combo box
Hi there.
I have a form that I open in read only mode, by setting the Me.AllowEdits = False on the forms Current event. And then when they click on an edit button, I set Me.AllowEdits = True. That works great. Except that, because of the form being in read only mode, my combo box control that let's the user lookup a particular record doesn't work. Is there a setting that I can use just on the combo box to make it work when the form's allowedits is set to False? thanks in advance!! Marty

One approach is to use the combo box's Enter event to set AllowEdits to True, and use its Exit event to set AllowEdits to False again. -- Dirk Goldgar, MS Access MVP www.datagnostics.com (please reply to the newsgroup)
