Is there a way to limit the amount of records which can be entered into a form. I want the ser to be limited to three. If he wants to add a new one he will have to delete an old one.

Thanks

Use the BeforeInsert event of the form to count the number of existing records. If it exceeds the magic threshold, then display a message to the user and Cancel the insertion.
