Form AllowEdits property

[Omono]

I am trying to add an Edit Record Command button on a input form so the user must take some action to edit the information. I have the form set to AllowEdits=False. On Click event for the cmdbutton sets AllowEdits=True. My problem is that I cannot figure out a way to reset AllowEdits=False when I navigate to the next record. Suggestions? Thanks in advance

This might not be the most efficiant way possible, but it should work.

Create your own record navigation buttons, but adding a control button. Tell it to be a record navigation button.

After it's created go to it onclick event and add the AllowEdits=False command.

Add all the other record navigation buttons that you want and tell the form to hide the system record nav. buttons.

good luck!

Mickyjune26 - Thanks for your quick reply. You mentioned that using AllowEdits may not be the most efficient way to do what I want. What do you suggest?

sorry, what I meant is my solution to your problem might not be the most efficiant.

I'm kind of new to access, so as far as I know, allowedits is the most efficiant variable to accomplish your goal.
