Is it possible to add records into Ms Access Form, while some fields are locked?

In my Ms Access form - I have a few locked fields. So, that users won't be able to change existing information. But they might still needed to add a new records into the Form.

Is it possible to be able to add a new records, without changing or removing an existing ones?

Thanks, as always!

Solution

  • Define an On Current event on form level. Like

    Private Sub Form_Current()

If Me.NewRecord Then
Me.txtField1.Enabled = True
Me.txtField2.Enabled = True

Else
Me.txtField1.Enabled = False
Me.txtField2.Enabled = False

End If

End Sub

    Replace txtField1 and txtField2 with the names of your form fields.
