Steve,

Open the form in design view, select the form object (Edit > Select
Form), display the properties window (View > Properties) if not already
visible, select tab Data and set the following three properties to No:
Allow Edits
Allow Deletions
Allow Additions

Open the form's property sheet, click the data tab and you will see
a number of properties that can be set to accomplish this.

The easiest way is to set the recordset type to snapshot.
