Locking Fields

[Totes]

Can you tell me where the YES and NO on the button comes from in your condFmt example...I have torn the example apart but I am unable to locate the origin of the YES/NO text when the fields are locked or unlocked.

Is it a fm9A feature?

Thanks,

Jim

Conditional formatting is a new feature of 9.

I am not sure what you mean by the YES/No but if you are talking about the conditions for the conditional format, right click on the field in layout mode and select conditional format.

The yes no is a script attached to a button.

Lee,

I have looked at the script...but I do not see where the text "YES" comes from when it is locked and the "NO" comes from when it is unlocked.

I have been looking at every part of this example for the last hour. I have added extera lockable fields and can make them lock and unlock...but I just for the life of me cannot see where the text on the button comes from.

Thanks,

Jim

OH ok. That makes sense now. I was getting confused for a sec... There ws no file attached to your first post.

Right click on the field in layout mode and go to numbr formatting. You can format a number as boolean and display what you want up to 7 characters.

P.S. tell me what thread you were trying to respond to and I will move your posts to it.
