Hi,
I have a form called frmElements which has its Data Entry and Allow Additions properties set to 'No' so that only existing records can be edited, this is all good and works fine when used from the Navigation Pane.
I have created a macro which opens this form from a button on the ribbon, this is where the problem lies because it opens the form and allows new records to be added, I know this because there is an empty record with an '*' at the bottom of the form. If I change to design mode the Data Entry and Allow Additions properties are still set to 'No', when I then change back to form view the form functions as it should.
It does not seem possible to set form properties using the macro builder and it appears to override the forms property settings.
Any suggestions?
I am using access 2010 on a Windows 8 machine.
Thanks
