Block opening of a specific form displayed in a view

I have a view in Notes that displays values from 2 different forms A & B
Form B must be edited from an embedded view in form A
I would like to allow users to open form A from the view but not form B.
I would like to display a message 'Please edit form B from within form A' when they double click it to open.
How do I do this?

Thanks.

You could also make it so that doc A is opened when doc B is double-clicked, if you know how to find doc A from doc B. Is there a parent-child (aka document-response) relation?

There is not a 'proper' response hierarchy however Form B (Contact) is always created from Form A (Company) where amongst other fields I use @Unique in Form A inherited into Form B.
How would I achieve what you suggest/
I am not familiar with LS, only formulas.
Is there not something I can do in the PostOpen event or similar?
Thanks

In all fairness, I only finished umeli's suggestion...

True but when I said 'I am unfamiliar with LS' a more prescriptive answer was required.
These things are only simple when you know!

Yours was just copy and paste so for me the perfect solution.

Can I change the points assignment?

I'll ask for the the question to be reopened...
