Hi

I have a tabular form with a button for each record. And I would like to disable a button next to the first record.
I know how to disable a record for example:

SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY('DB.ID',1,UPDATE_ALLOWED,PROPERTY_FALSE)

but I don't know how to disable a button next to that record.

I tried it with the above statement, it doesn't work.

Could you post a screenshot (mark a button you'd like to disable)?

Anyway: if I understood what you are saying, you'd like to disable button which belongs to the first record. If so, perhaps you might use such a code in the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger:
if :system.trigger_record = '1' then
   null;
else
   do_whatever_you_are_doing_now;
end if;

Thanks, you got it right. I wanted to disable button next to the first item. Your answer helped, once again Smile.
