i want to add a button to my access database that will allow my database forms to be unlocked until either the button is clicked again for the database is saved and closed. This will unlock all forms in the database 

The database will open with forms being locked. 

Thank you.

    First the code I gave you was to UNLOCK the forms.

    But I just realized the problem. Since the form is locked you can't click the checkbox.

    So you have to unlock the form when you open it.

    Again I suggest you check out my blog article.
