Hi Experts,

I am working on form 6i. I want to disable the 'SAVE' button which can be seen in the menu (front end).

Kindly help me.

Thanks.

Could you explain the background? Why would you want to do that?

If the form contains database block(s), how would users save changes if you disable the SAVE button?

If the form does NOT contain database blocks, SAVE won't save anything anyway so - there's no need to disable it.

If you search the board, you'll see that you could try with KEY-COMMIT trigger

-- key-commit
null;

However, if users exit the form and receive "Do you want to save changes" message and answer "Yes", changes WILL be saved anyway. So - once again - what problem are you trying to solve?

It's better to prevent users from changing data in the first place - by setting insert and update_allowed properties, for example - than to try and prevent them from saving changes.
