Lock Parent & Subform in Access if Order Paid

In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I will show you how to lock both a parent form and its subform based on a payment condition. Discover the steps to prevent edits, deletions, and additions to an order once marked as paid, ensuring data integrity in your database application.

Gary from Warwick, Rhode Island (a Platinum Member) asks: I followed the techniques you showed in your Disallow Editing Data video to lock orders once they are marked paid. However, this doesn't prevent the user from modifying the records in the order detail subform. How can I lock the whole thing down?
