Can I easily determine the data mode for an open form object?

[MLH]

Can I run a procedure and read a value to indicate data mode
like A_EDIT or A_READONLY (Access Basic in Access 2.0) ?

[Allen Browne]

When you OpenForm using A_READONLY as the DataMode, Access sets several
properties for the form, and you can read the properties. In later versions,
the properties are AllowEdits, AllowDeletions, and AllowAdditions, e.g.:
? Forms("MyForm").AllowEdits

Can't recall if they have the same name in A2.

Thanks Allen. BTW, I've been off the forum for a long time now.
What's up with the character assassination posts being made
in this forum? I find it deplorable. Can I go read about it somewhere
offline to find out what can be done to prevent it?

Best prevention is not to feed the troll.
