lock records

[manar]

how i can make a script, that after entering data of all fields in a record , the fields locks and becoming nonmodifecable and new record started

The simple answer would be to have a button with a script attached to it that checks for any empty fields, exiting the script with an appropriate message if it finds the record to be incomplete.

Finally the script would add a new record. This will display a new blank set of fields (new record) and so your last record will in fact not be modifiable at that stage cos you can't see it.

You will of course have to strictly control the users navigation so that they can never get to a layout that allows them to modify any field other than during data entry.

You could also create a field 'locked' and set it to 'x' within the script but I cannot see the point in doing that if ALL the records are to be locked as your question suggested.

That then begs the question 'Are you sure you want to lock ALL your records under all circumstances?'

what u said it sounds good, but how to do it, i don't know how to write the script and other steps to do, and i want to lock all fields after data entry, so it can't be modified later

Hi manar

this is an example that answers your question.

It uses "privilege Set".

You can take this as a starting point.
