I have a couple forms with subforms on them that are basically quick view
info only.  I don't want anybody to enter information on the subforms or
alter the subform in anyway.  However, the subform only shows so many
records.  I still want the user to be able to scroll down the list if they
need to.  Locking doesn't allow edits of info but the subform columns can be
altered.  Changing Enabled to No prevents any movement including the scroll
bar.  Is there any way to make the subform read only but still scrollable??
Thanks for any help

You can always set the text boxes Enabled property in the sub form to No

That way the user wont be able to set cursor in the text box, and the scroll
will work

Good Luck

Pixie78,

You might also try setting the Allow Additions, Allow Edits and Allow
Deletions properties of your subform to false.  This will all full
access to the information but will not allow the use to add new
records, make and edits or changes to the data, and now allow
deletions of records.

Hope this helps.
