I have a form that protrays information from a table and subform
information from a sub table. The information and form looks good and
works good, but they can change any data they want, how can I make it
where the information on the form is read only? The only non read only
would be when they add new information on the form, since the form is
a manual entry form. Make sense? I would like to input new data, but
once it's in the table it turns to read only, is this possible? Thanks
in advance.

Forms have properties named...

AllowEdits
AllowAddition
AllowDeletions

You would need No, Yes, No respectively in those properties.

So any errors introduced in the data entry project are cast in concrete and
can never be corrected?
