There are various properties for each control (fields are items in a record - controls are items on a form or report). Check out the Locked and Enabled properties for what you want.
I cannot use that since i do want people to enter data in the fields iniatially. what i want is for them not to be able to change the data after they would have move to a new record, nor should they be able to alter something that someone else had entered in those fields.
NeoPa's advice is the only way you can do this, if, as your post suggests, you want to be able to view existing records as well as add new records! You simply have to use the properties conditionally. If , when moving to a record, a field already has data in it, lock it. Otherwise, leave it unlocked. - Private Sub Form_Current()
-
If Not IsNull(Me.TextBoxName) Then
-
TextBoxName.Locked = True
-
Else
-
TextBoxName.Locked = False
-
End If
-
End Sub

Nice to have some poetry in here :)

if possible). It also only has to work on Internet Explorer 6, as it

Hi there, I have put some web controls, textboxes and drop down lists, in a

hi,
i have a form with a lot of fields on it. I would like to enable/disable all these fields using a checkbox. Is there a way to do this (perhaps using a loop mayb), without having to name each field and disable it - which would result in too many lines of code?
Any help would be appreciated!
thanks!

Hi
I'm a bit of a newbie on Access. I'm using Access 2000 and am trying to disable some fields on a form based on the values selected in other fields on the same form.
I'm using the AfterUpdate function on the fields to enable / disable the fields:

Private Sub field1_AfterUpdate()
If field1.Value = "Partial" Then
