You can kinda fudge it with conditional formatting on each control, setting
its ForeColor or BackColor so it appears greyed out.
As simpler and more efficient visual indicator might be a text box that
shows a little lock symbol to the left of the locked items. For example, if
wanted to lock all records where the DateEntered field is more than 30 days
ago, you would give the text box these properties:
Control Source: =(DateEntered < Date() - 30)
Font Name: Webdings
Then put 3 characters into the Format property:
semicolon (;)
backslash (\)
hold down the Alt key, and type 0207 on numeric keypad.

Well, I have the lock part figured out.. but how do I gray-out or put
in some type of visual effect that indicated that the row in the
subform is locked?
