Lock/unlock form button
I've successfully created a button that locks/unlocks all the fields in a
form. In addition, it keeps all fields unlocked during initial record creation, but requires the user to use the button whenever any fields in the form are edited. This was accomplished by following the instructions and code (see pasted at bottom of this post) at the following web address under "Double-Action Command Button" posted on 3/28/08: http://www.msaccesstips.com/labels/m...%20forms.shtml This does almost exactly what I want, but I'd like to have one of the fields on the form (a combo box field that looks up and returns a given record in the rest of the form) not lock each time. That is, I'd like it to remain unlocked and available for repeat use without having to click the lock/unlock button each time. Is this possible? Thanks The code portion of the application is as follows: Private Sub Form_Current() If Me.NewRecord Then With Me .cmdEdit.Caption = "Edit" .cmdEdit.ForeColor = 0 .cmdEdit.FontBold = False .AllowEdits = True .cmdEdit.Enabled = False End With Else With Me .AllowEdits = False .cmdEdit.Caption = "Edit" .cmdEdit.ForeColor = 0 .cmdEdit.FontBold = False .cmdEdit.Enabled = True End With End If End Sub AND Private Sub cmdEdit_Click() Dim cap As String cap = Me.cmdEdit.Caption Select Case cap Case "Edit" With Me .AllowEdits = True .cmdEdit.Caption = "Lock" .cmdEdit.ForeColor = 128 .cmdEdit.FontBold = True .Refresh End With Case "Lock" With Me .AllowEdits = False .cmdEdit.Caption = "Edit" .cmdEdit.ForeColor = 0 .cmdEdit.FontBold = False .Refresh End With End Select End Sub |
