Conditional layout fields

[frinholp]

Hi all

I would like to create a layout where a field is only editable if a condition is met.

The scenerio is:

I have an inventory database. A stock item is of one of two types, a 'one-off' or a an item that many copies can be ordered. I would like to create an 'Order' layout that allows me to enter a purchase quantity if an item is not a 'one-off' or automatically sets the quantity as 1 if it is a 'one-off' and prevents the field from being editable.

I'm sure these conditions need to be set in 'manage database'. How do I go about this? It would be nice to block data entry into the quantity field on the layout by means of ghosting or something similar.

Thanks in advance

OK I have managed to automatically set the quantity as 1 dependent on the value of another field using an OnObjectExit script trigger. I just now need to lock the quantity field. Is there a script function that can acheive this?

Problem solved. I just wrote a script that is triggered OnObjectEnter that goes to next field if a condition is met which prevents data from being entered into the field.
