Just to be precise, fields are in tables, controls are on forms.
So, you have 20 controls that are set to disabled after an entry is made
in
the control. Lets say there are 5 buttons on a form and after you clicked
on
a button, it is set to disabled. If I tell you 5 times "click a button",
will
you ever try to click a button that you have already clicked? And if I
tell
you a 6th time "click a button", what button will you click?
The FIND button does the same thing. If all 20 controls have had data
entered and are set to disabled, what is controls are available to search?
Access isn't installed on this computer, so I can't test anything. But
maybe
you could set the controls to LOCKED instead of DISABLED. And maybe set
the
background to a different color to indicate the control cannot be changed.
