MS Access Forum / New Users / April 2006Issues with forms and subforms
Microsoft Access 2003 I have an "Edit record" button on a subform (as for detail line items in an invoice for a particular customer) to enable allowedits when it is clicked. How do I disable allowedits when moving to a new set of records (as for a new customer being selected in the main form), so that the user needs to click on the "Edit record" button again to make changes to the detail records. For the main form OnEnter property, create an event procedure to set your sub form AllowEdits property to False. > Microsoft Access 2003 > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > customer being selected in the main form), so that the user needs to click on > the "Edit record" button again to make changes to the detail records. The main form itself does not have an OnEnter property. Do you mean that I should use an OnEnter property for one of the controls on the main form? Also, how do I refer to the subform in the context of the main form?

I stand corrected. Try using the OnCurrent, or OnFocus event of the main form to set your subform AllowEdits property to False. You stated your subform displays records related to choices made on your main form, but does not allow edits until the command button is clicked. I assumed that your subform AllowEdits property was set to No when information is first displayed. After making edits, and the user moves back to the main form to make another selection, you seem to need an event procedure to recreate this condition. > The main form itself does not have an OnEnter property.

Sorry for not responding earlier. Thanks for your help. Oli 04.06.06 16.55 hst > I stand corrected.
