Please help! I'm on a tight deline and my form fields will not lock. I've
locked from fields at least 100 times previously. Today my lock icon is
dimmed and I cannot lock or unlock anything! Help will be VERY MUCH
appreciated!

Thanks!

Does the form contain any ActiveX controls (from the Controls toolbox)?

Don't you know whether you inserted these controls? Is there an ActiveX
toolbar on the screen? It will have a button whose ScreenTip says "Exit
Design Mode."
