We use Set_Block_Property in a generic PLL routine whenever a display-only user accesses a form that can normally run in update mode:
SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY (BLKNAME,UPDATE_ALLOWED,PROPERTY_FALSE);
SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY (BLKNAME,INSERT_ALLOWED,PROPERTY_FALSE);
SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY (BLKNAME,DELETE_ALLOWED,PROPERTY_FALSE);
It seems to be working quite well. The PLL procedure just cycles through all the form's blocks, and if it is anything but the first control-block it shuts down update access to that block.
