Allow Deletions Isn't Working

[Keith]

I have a form (Access 2007) on which I've set the Allow Deletions Property to
No. For some reason though, my users are still able to go to Edit-Delete
Record and are able to delete the record. Is there some other setting that
needs to be in place in order to prevent deletions?

Thanks,

Keith

The form isn't actually being used as a subform, is it? How the "Allow"
properties are set on a form is of no consequence if the form is being used
as the source for a subform. Since a subform is actually a control on the
main form, the "Allow" settings of the main form determine/override the
settings on the subform.

The form I am describing is not a subform...it is the main form.

Although I am designing in Access 2007, I am still saving as an Access 2000
mdb in order to accommodate users running older versions of Office. Could
this have something to do with it?

Thanks,

Keith

I'm replying to my own post (talking to myself?) because I figured out what
was wrong. The macro opening the form was overriding the Allow Deletions
setting. I created a new button opening the form using the wizard and
modified the code to do what I wanted, and the Allow Deletions:No stuck. I
hope this is helpful to someone in the future.

Thanks,
