Yes, and also the version of VB you are using.

Any more detail you can provide is likely to be helpful. For example, are you talking about locking database records, or just preventing the user from editing fields on the screen, or what?

(Quick tip - if you're dealing with a textbox, in VB6 at least, setting the Locked property to True will allow the user to scroll, select, copy as usual but they can't change the contents.)
