Do you mean allow the user to put the cursor in the item but not allow them to update the item?
You have three options depending on what you want to do:
- Insert allowed = No. This is for records that are not in the database (records with "NEW" or "INSERT" status).
- Update allowed = No. This is for records that came from the database (records with "CHANGED" or "QUERY" status).
- Update allowed if null = No. This is for the above but only if the item's value is currently null.
The online help, while usually good in Forms, is messed up on the above topics, incorrect, and rather confusing. (Like if you were sitting on either of the above in the item's Property Palette and hit F1, it takes you to the block properties, not the item properties. Also, the help message on the palette itself is incorrect as well.
