ACC: How to Make a Subform Uneditable and Unenterable (95923)

SUMMARY

If a subform is uneditable, a user cannot make any changes to the subform. However, a user can still give focus to the subform by clicking it with the pointer. To prevent this from happening, make the subform unenterable. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Open the main form in Design view.
2. Click the pointer once on the subform object to select it.
3. Click Properties on the View menu to display the Subform/Subreport property sheet.
4. Change the Subform/Subreport properties as follows:
   

         Subform/Subreport
         -----------------
         Enabled: No
         Locked:  Yes
   						

NOTE: You can use an uneditable and unenterable subform as a "label" for information.
