Is this possible...subform and allow edits?

Hello All

I have a subform, and the AllowEdits property is currently set to False. The user needs to be able to create new records and fill in all the fields, but not change them after the record is saved. Ideally, I would want AllowEdits to be false for every field on the subform except one. This would be a field where they could mark off whether or not they had "followed up" on that action. I don't think that I have this level of control over the behavior, but if anyone knows how to accomplish this it would be great! Thanks in advance.

It can be done using VBA. What you would have to do is use an If-Then statement testing for information in a field. Then enable or disable the field based on whether information is present.
