Allowing Data Entry Only For New Records and Find Mode

[nathpowe]

Hello. I am very new to Filemaker Pro 9. I'm trying to set up my database so that data can only be entered when a new record is created (and only at the moment of creation) or in find mode. In Layout Mode, I have tried Field/Control -> Behavior -> unchecked 'allow field to be entered in browse mode'. This works for allowing entry only in find mode but prevents the entry of data into a new record. Any suggestions/information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

This is done using accounts and privileges.

Create a privilege set that allows view, create but not edit or delete. Then assign this privilege set to the user accounts that need to be limited.

Thanks very much! That worked perfectly.
