Lock Field After Update-Access2K

[Sheldon]

Hi,

I'm able to lock a field after update by using the code:

fldname.locked=true

But when the form is closed and reopened, the field is not
locked. How can I keep an updated field locked?

Thanks.

Sheldon...

Hi Sheldon,

have you try putting the code in the Form Open Event?

Is there a value in the field before you update it, or is it an empty field

If what you want is someone to fill in an empty field then lock the field for good use

do this on Form Open

if me.fldname.value is not null the
me.fldname.locked = tru
els
me.fldname.locked = fals
endi

I'm not sure what you mean. I want only certain fields to
lock after they are updated. I don't want them
necessarily locked on Form Open.

Thank you. This is what I am trying to do!

Thanks again.
