Hi Everyone,

This is a really frustrating question because I think I've done this 
before, but I can't find the code that did it.  Or maybe I'm dreaming.

I have an output form opened using Modify Selection that displays records 
from Table1.  When the user double clicks, I capture the On Open Detail 
form event, check the user's authority to change the record, and either 
open it in an input form that has enterable fields, or another input form 
that uses only non-enterable fields (there are other differences).

What I want is that when I open the form that uses only non-enterable 
fields, NOT to lock the record.  Since I'm in Modify Selection, though, by 
default everything is in a read-write state.  Hence, when a user opens a 
"non-enterable" record, it still is locked to other users.

Is there a way to accomplish this, other than to open the "non-enterable" 
record in a new process?

Many thanks!
