A nice patch of code that will allow you to cycle through a series of forms and make them read only. Useful if you don’t have immediate access to make changes to the backend, SQL Server or active directory. If you have any programmatic save record commands you will have to deprecate those lines.
Public Sub turnOffFormProps() Dim strForm As String, db As DAO.Database Dim doc As DAO.Document Set db = CurrentDb For Each doc In db.Containers("Forms").Documents strForm = doc.Name DoCmd.OpenForm strForm, acDesign Debug.Print Forms(strForm).Properties("AllowAdditions") Forms(strForm).Properties("AllowAdditions") = False Debug.Print Forms(strForm).Properties("AllowDeletions") Forms(strForm).Properties("AllowDeletions") = False DoCmd.Close acForm, strForm, acSaveYes Next doc Set doc = Nothing db.Close Set db = Nothing End Sub
