I have a “main” record layout and users can click on a button which calls a script to open a smaller window to make certain selections from another layout. The results of the selection are seen back on the "main" layout in a portal. I've discovered that I can edit the data in the portal - and it updates back in table - which I really don't want. Is there an easy way to prevent this? I need the users to be able to edit this data - but never from this portal.

Thanks in advance,

Mark

Just set the field behavior so that users can't enter those fields on that layout. You can set this on each field independently for browse mode and find mode.

Or use merge fields.

Thanks Reed and comment - Changing the Field Behavior was a remarkably simple way to solve the problem.

Thanks again,

Mark
