I have an access database where the menus are disabled and the form fields are locked - I want them to remain locked but allow users to be able to right click and copy/paste the infromation? Help much appreciated Thanks J

If you have disabled the default shortcut menus in Tools | Startup (Access 2003 or before) or in the Current Database section of Access Optios (Access 2007 or later), you'd have to provide a custom shortcut menu. By the way, users can still use Ctrl+C to copy selected text.

Instead of locking all controls, you could set the Recordset Type property of the form to Snapshot.
