No access to change field after field has a customer name

[Nestor]

Hopefully someone will know how to do this.

So, what im trying to do know if the following.

Im having users create a new record and assign a customer name. what i want to do is after they assign a customer name to the field i don't want them to have access or be able to change it.

further more, i have 90 records with the view "Form" and i want to disable the scroll Botton in the mouse.. is there a way to do this???

Thanks

Go in to Layout mode, click in the name field, right click and and then click on 'Field Control', chose 'Behavior', uncheck Allow field to be entered 'In Browse Mode'.

As far as the Mouse question, I have no idea if that can be done. But, I have a question, why? If you are trying to limit the amount of space below the bottom of your layout you can do that by dragging the 'Body' Part up to the bottom of your last field in the layout. If you data goes "below the fold" then don't you want your user to be able to see all data?

If i change the behavior it won't let me enter a Customer name at all. I want to be able to input a customer name and then prohibit users from changing it later..

and about the scroll button, your right. don't know what i was thinking with that.

Thanks

You can try field level access or you can make the field a button that calls a script.

If [ IsEmpty ( yourField ) ]

Go to Field [ yourField]

Else

Show Custom Message [ "You cant modify" ]

End If

Sorry about that. Try this script:

Set the button to the name field. When the user clicks in to the field on record creation they can enter the name, once entered they can not change it.

Two ways of achieving the same goal. :)

WOW.... both worked perfectly.... THANK YOU SO MUCH>>>

Two ways of achieving the same goal. :

I see how I could make this a button but this requires the user to click on the field for data entry. This slows data entry. I would rather find a way to tab to the field. There was mention that you had two ideas but I couldn't see the second. Could someone elaborate.
