Here is my question in 2 parts

First part:
For the subform:
here we lock EVERYTHING with: OrderDetailF.locked
and to prevent deletion: OrderDetailF.Form.AllowDeletions = False

Would this work? if instead of "orderDetailF.locked" to block the entire subform, I would have written the command to also prevent modification as for the form.

with the command: OrderDetailF.Form.AllowEdits = False

Second part:

Almost identical to the first part! , here it's more about the main form, instead of having Me.AllowEdits = false.....could I have simply put OrderF.locked in order to block the whole form?

thank you to enlighten me

PS I am French speaking and I used Google translate for this text. I read and understand quite well, but have difficulty writing and synthesizing lollll

You should try it out and see what happens :).

You can lock down edits, additions, and deletions if you want to, it should be the same thing. However you want to put the lego pieces together. I personally don't use Allow Edits very much because it disables things like combo boxes that might be used to do other things like change records etc. unrelated to the data in the subform. Unless there's a ton of fields or I know I'll never have a use for something unbound to be going on inside the subform, I usually just individually lock them with Forms!FormName!SubformName.Form!FieldName.Locked=True but then you have to remember if you add fields to the subform you have to lock those too like that.

Thanks Adam, Your answer enlightened me... ???? I didn't think about that at all: that if I don't use the subform lock and if I use the other way, I won't forget to do the same manipulations for each new field that I adds Knowing me I would have forgotten that lollllllllllll and looked for what the error is THANK YOU very much A+
