Convert a display form to an edit form

[Jchopp]

Is there a way to convert a display form to an edit form?  I have customized a display form and would like to duplicate it and then make is an edit form with all the cards in the same place as the display.  Just trying to avoid redoing the work.

Thanks,

@Jchopp To the best of my knowledge it's not possible. That's why it's better always to use an Edit Form and change its DisplayMode property to View for view only situations.

Insert a button on the screen and OnSelect of the Button: EditForm(YourForName)

When you select the button, it should convert to edit.

Or

Change the Default Mode of the form to Edit

Thanks, I pulled up an edit form, then changed it to view.  Exactly what I need, just need to remember to go that route from now on.
