Hi all,

I have a continious form on which some records are 'open' for edit and
others aint depending on the flag . Now I thought I could handle that with
the code shown below. Unfortunatly the code does not do the job.

Could anyone suggest a methode which could do it?

Private Sub Form_Current()
'Check ik record is locked if YES dont allow edits to the form detail
section
Dim cntl As Control
If Me.fPayCheck = True Then
For Each cntl In Me.Detail.Controls
AllowEdits = False
Next
Else
For Each cntl In Me.Detail.Controls
AllowEdits = True
Next
End If

End Sub


Thanks a lot,
Ludovic
 
On a continuous form all rows are treated the same.
You could insert code in the BeforeUpdate event to allow or disallow saving
the row.

AllowEdits is a form property, not a control property. To
disallow edits to all the controls, your code could simply
be:
Me.AllowEdits = Not Me.fPayCheck

OTOH, if you want to allow some controls to be edited, then
Lock and/or Disable just those controls.
