Locking fields

[ppeffgra]

Im not sure if this can be done but here it goes. I have a field that has a pop up menu. What I want to do is have this field lock after someone has selected one of the items in that menu. I dont want users to be able to alter the field after the record has been created. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, in advance.

Hmmm... How about attaching a button to the field which triggers the script:

Allow User Abort (off)

Set Error Capture (on)

If(IsEmpty(YourField))

Go to Field (YourField)

else

Beep

Go to Field()

End If

Make sure you take the field out of the tab order.

Thanks, thats exactly what I needed to know.

Why not use the Exit Record step instead of the last Go to Field()?

Sounds fine to me, Vaughan! Thanks for all your support while we were at Devcon!
