[Quoted] Forms 4.5 Oracle 7.3.4 (yes, I know this is StoneAge stuff, but we will be [Quoted] moving to the Bronze Age shortly - Forms6. The date for moving into the [Quoted] Steam Age 8.1.7 is somewhere in 2003 . . .)
The problem is this: how do we set up form attributes in such a way that the
[Quoted] users can enter and update some fields on the canvas only if a particular
global variable is true?
[Quoted] We to prevent the user entering the fields and trying to update them if the
[Quoted] [Quoted] variable is false, but allow them to update if the variable is true.
We can see that you can set the canvas attributes 'updateable' to true or
[Quoted] false, but can't see any way to do this conditionally.
We know that we can use triggers (when-validate-item) to warn the users
[Quoted] after the fact, we have also tried the on-mouse-enter trigger but this
prevents the user moving the mouse over the form field to fileds beyond this
point.
[Quoted] [Quoted] Is there a way to do what we want? I'm sure there must be (I couldn't find anything on Google) Received on Thu Aug 22 2002 - 15:54:43 CEST
