MS Access 2000: Open Forms In "Read Only"...

I'm using Access 2K... I created a macro that opens one of my forms in "Read Only" mode. The problem is, if the underlying table doesn't contain any data, Access displays a blank screen!

I know the problem is with the "Read Only" status because if I change it so it opens in "Add" or "Edit" mode, the form opens fine.

Is there any way around this?

 

Read only?
That shouldn't be done by the setting on the form.
That should be done by access to tables...

 

I made the form read only so end-users can see the data in "form" view, but not be able to edit it.

 

So you make the data read-only, not the form...

 

Sorry. Maybe I'm being obtuse.

 

Are you referring to "Data Mode" in the macro? If so, that's what I did. If not, please explain.

 

The macro is as follows:

[Action] = OpenForm
Form Name = "The Form's Name"
View = Form
Where Condition = Empty (Blank)
Data Mode = Read Only
Window Mode = Normal

 

k.
There's a property on forms for "data entry".
Set it to NO
Set allow edits, allow deletions, allow additions all to NO

What's the code for?

 

Dreamboat... I tried it but it didn't work. When I set the "Data Mode" on the macro to "Add" or "Edit", it overrides the settings I placed in the form property (as you suggested). If I leave the "Data Mode" empty/blank, the form opens as a empty screen (no fields/text is visible).

The macro part of a menu I created. Upon an end-user clicking "Accounts" in the menu, the macro is run (to open the vendor accounts form).

 

I didn't say anything about a macro.
I said the PROPERTIES of the FORM.

 

I know... I changed the properties of the form. Same result...

I mentioned the macro because that is what's opening the form.

 

And the form, when opened manually, still allows for changes to be made tho your form properties say no?

Then there is something not right.
LOL!!

I mean...we must have missed something here...
