Prevent Users from Editing or Deleting Existing Records

In this Microsoft Access Tutorial TechHelp video, I'll show you how to set up your form so that users can ADD new records, but they can't EDIT or DELETE existing data. We will learn how to use the Allow Edits and Allow Deletions properties. I'll also show you how to set up a quick and simple Admin form so YOU can make changes, but your regular users can't.

Hema asks, "Hi. Can you help me? How do you disable data editing after inputting values in a form? I tried locking but it is not allowing me to enter new data as well."
