Make some fields read-only on a query

Is it possible to set some fields in a query as read-only, while still allowing editing of other fields?

RE: make some fields read-only on a query

Hi Andrew,

If you create a form to display the queried information or if it is already in a form then go to design view, click into the text boxes for each field you wish to lock, go to properties (right click and select or press F4), then go to Data tab, change Locked from No to Yes.

Regards, Mark (delegate)

Thanks, Mark, that's great.


 

Access tip:

Hide Access Tables

One method of stopping your Access tables appearing in Database window, is to rename the table(s) with the prefix usys.

This converts the table into a system object, which cannot be viewed in the Database window.

You can show system objects in the Database window by the following:

Step 1: On the Tools menu, click Options.
Step 2: Click the View tab.
Under Show, select the System Objects check box.
Click OK.
