In Paradox for Windows, all forms arrive ReadOnly and the user presses F9 to
allow editing. How can I recreate this functionality in Access with Forms
and Subforms?

Set the main form's Allow Updates property to No in the form's Current event,
and back to Yes in an OnKey macro bound to F9 (if you want to usurp the
standard function of F9).

Do note that Access is not a flawed implementation of Paradox.
