Re: Forms4.5 question: Displaying data

Here's some info that might help you:

Forms requires one field in the block to be enabled. The field may have insert_allowed and update_allowed set to FALSE. The easiest way to protect your data is to set the block properties of INSERT_ALLOWED, UPDATE_ALLOWED, and DELETE_ALLOWED to FALSE. The corresponding properties of individual fields are ignored.

The INSERT_ALLOWED property only controls access to fields when the record status is either NEW or INSERT. The UPDATE_ALLOWED property only controls access to fields when the record status is QUERY or CHANGED. So if you only intend to query records, you should be free to set UPDATE_ALLOWED to FALSE. The INSERT_ALLOWED property prevents the user from implicitly creating a new record by clicking on a blank record in a multi-line display.

Hope this helps,
