Option Group in a Protected Form

[Antonio via AccessMonster.com]

Hello,

I have a sub-form in which I only want users to browse data. The "Allow
Edits", "Allow Additions" and "Allow Deletions" properties are therefore set
to "No".

I've added an option group and a command button (pointing to a report), so
that I can filter the results in the report.

Problem is, I can't switch between options in the option group, because of
the "Allow Edits" properyt, set to No.

Anyone?

Thanks
Antonio

Hi Antonio,

If only the subform is locked, can you move the option group out to the main
form?

Just a thought,

Susan

Hello Susan,

That's an idea, the problem is it will compromise my graphical layout
The main form is just a little space with the Employee ID and Name...

I hear you - layout once designed it's no fun to redo, especially if
screenspace is at a premium
;-)

Another option would be to unlock the subform itself, and go through and
lock all the individual controls other than those you want users to be able
to "play with" - such as your option group. If you have a lot of controls
this may be tedious but would get you the results you want.

Glad to help!

No chat here at work (I block it at the firewall or no one gets anything
done, lol)
