Remarks
This property is most useful when you want to depart from the default functionality of a data control, or if you are not using a data control with the Professional Edition. In the Validate event, you might check the value of this property and the value of the Action parameter to the procedure to determine whether you should invoke the UpdateRecord method.
You might also check to see if LockEdits is True and EditMode is DATA_EDITMODE to determine whether the current data page is locked.
