Subform in Form not editable

Hi, I am working on a database, it has a main form and a subform. I created
it read only, so that when you press the edit button the form can be editable.
The subform however remains as read only. How can I get the subform to be
editable when the main form is editable? Please help newbie...

You need to change the AllowEdits property of the subform's Source Object's
Form object too, just like you're doing for the main form ( I assume ).

That doesn't seem to be working, I checked online and it gave me a solution
but in Macro...and I'm really new at codes and get confused and lost very
easily. This is the website I found this in, but I don't know how to write a
basic code for it....
