How to avoid alteration of data?

[Jepjo]

Hi everyone
I am not realy used to use MSAccess, but now I'm using it to track working hours for different people in a project group. My question is, how i can deny anyone to make changes to their entrys? I have made a form into which you can easily enter your data, who was working on what and for how long. Once entered, these data are not supposed to change. The form however seems to start at entry no. 1 each time you open it, and it you tend to alter the info in this 1st entry. There must be an easy way of solving this problem, so if you know how, please help m

Thank you al

Jesper

Put the form into Design View, Click on the Properties Icon
and set the form's AllowEdits property to No.

Hope This Helps

Jesper,

Open your form in design view, select the whole form (click on the little
square at the cross-section of the two rulers) and right-click to open the
properties window. Select the Data tab and change the Data Entry property
setting from No to Yes. Save.
The result of this is that each time the form is opened it will
automatically go a new record, while it will also not allow the user to go
to a previous record using the record selector or the mouse wheel.

HTH,
Nikos
