SUMMARY
If a subform is uneditable, a user cannot make any changes to the subform. However, a user can still give focus to the subform by clicking it with the pointer. To prevent this from happening, make the subform unenterable. To do so, follow these steps:

 Open the main form in Design view. Click the pointer once on the subform object to select it. Click Properties on the View menu to display the Subform/Subreport property sheet.  Change the Subform/Subreport properties as follows:

     Subform/Subreport -     Enabled: No      Locked:  Yes 

NOTE: You can use an uneditable and unenterable subform as a &quot;label&quot; for information.

Additional query words: noneditable nonenterable
