Control Data Entry with the Enabled Property Part 2

In this Microsoft Access tutorial I will show you how to control the enabled property of a field using VBA for more advanced logic, including how to check the current user's Windows username to allow specific users to override field settings, how to use events like After Update and On Current, and how to reset values based on your rules. This is part 2.
