acbHandleKeys function

The acbHandleKeys function may incorrectly set the cmdNew button to be enabled. If the form does not allow additions, it should not enable the button. To reproduce, change the form's allowAdditions property to false, and then edit a record. The cmdNew button will become active.

The solution is simple, just check frm.AllowAdditions.

Change:

If Not fEnabled And frm.Dirty Then

to:

If Not fEnabled And frm.Dirty And frm.AllowAdditions Then


I am not sure if the recordset needs to be checked for AllowUpdate or not, but I don't like the idea doing all that for every key press...
