How do I get to older forms?

I set up a database and am loosing my mind. I set it up so that no one could
go back and edit old forms. Well, now I need to go back and access those
forms. I know its a simple setting but for the life of me I can not remember
what it is.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Since we didn't "set it up so that no one could go back and edit old forms",
we don't really have a way to tell how YOU did it.

If you want specific suggestions, please give us more specific information.

If you can't see the "old forms", perhaps you've hidden them... try unhiding
them.

Good luck!

Or, if you have an .mde you need to open the original .mdb to be able to
edit the old forms.

I realize that was a little vague but I know that its something real simple.
A user opens a form, edits it and closes it. When they open it again, it
opens to a new form and the back arrow will not work. I think its a setting
where I give permissions for that form to be able to only enter new and not
edit old.

Does that thoroughly muddy the waters?

Thanks for the help.

So you're not "editing old forms", you're using a Form to edit data in the
table. That may have been part of the confusion!

Set the Data Entry property of the form to No in order to allow users to see
existing data in the table.
