Keep subform editable

I've got a form - "Orders" - that has a subform called "Order Items." I've set the On Current property of the Orders form to disallow edits (e.g. Me.AllowEdits = False) in order to prevent accidental editing (the user can bypass this by pressing an "Edit" button).

I've also got a "New" button that allows users to enter new orders in the form. However, I've noticed that when a user is entering a new order and tabs into the Order Items subform, the AllowEdits property from the main form seems to take control and disallows edits in the subform.

Any ideas on how to keep the subform editable when entering a new record, without totally doing away with the accidental editing safeguards?
