[AccessD] Allow Edits

Hi Rocky

Glad you got it sorted

In these situations where I DO want certain fields to be editable or visible -
and others not
I setup and interrogate the control's TAG property

EG I set up the TAG to say something meaningful like "CanBeEnabled" etc

Then in the relevant code I call something like this




Private Sub ps_EnableSomeControls()

Dim ctl as Control

For each ctl in me.controls 'The whole form
	If ctl.TAG = "CanBeEnabled" then
	'you can even set  if ctl.type = XXX (EG disable all the combos etc)
		ctl.enabled = true 
		'or
		'ctl.visible = true
	Else
		'Can write an else here
	End if
Next ctl

End sub

Rocky,

Put some code on the Enter event of the combo box to allow edits, then on
the Exit event determine from the value of the combo box whether to set
AllowEdits to true or false.
