Locking field after data inputed?

I have a need to lock a text field after text is added by the user, so that it can not be modified by anyone. Do I need a script to do this. What would be best is when the user clicks out of the field it is saved and can not be modified. Any advice?

I don't think you can activate a script by leaving a field. ???

You could try making two identical layouts, one for 'edit' mode and one for a 'browse' mode with their difference being whether the field(s) property is set to allow data entry. A button on the two layouts would toggle between the two and is labeled 'save' or 'edit'. The drawback of course is that this requires user interaction.

Look into record-level access privileges.

You can create a user account that allows a field to be locked, based on the value in another field.

Note that if this is done, only a user without this restriction will be able to edit the field again.
