    Change Default Properties Through Code..?

    We have a runtime Access database that has a form with three or four
    subforms within it. The problem is this: the default values for
    AllowDeletions, AllowAdditions and AllowEdits, is set to False where the
    default value needs to be true. The database has it's own menus and all
    shortcut keys to enable full menus have been disabled. I tried writing some
    code in VB to change the properties, but then realised that this doesn't
    change the default values, and the values revert to FALSE upon closing the
    database. I could import all Tables, Forms, Modules etc. into a new database
    and then change the properties, but I lose the custom menus.

    Can somebody tell me how I might change these default properties?

    Cheers

    Maybe I'm missing something here, but can't you modify these properties for each Form at design time
    (through the Property Sheet)?
