DataSheet View won't STICK

[Bonnie]

Hi folks! Using A02 on XP. Have 5 fields in a query and
only want to allow 1 field to be edited. So, I made a form
and made the default view 'datasheet' and locked all the
fields except the one to be edited. However, someone else
opens the form on their PC and it is in single record view
not datasheet view. How can I make that property STICK?
Here is what is in my OnClick to open the form. Should a
change go here?

Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String

stDocName = "fCSRPlansAssigned"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria

Thanks in advance for any help or advice!!!

Regardless of the Default View property setting of a form, if you open
the form using the OpenForm method you MUST explicitly open it in
datasheet view:
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, acFormDS, etc....
