Sure on load use command Object set enterable(*;”@“;false)// This will set all fields and variables to non enterable
You will have to use Object set enabled for Check Boxes, Radio button etc. These can not be done as above as it will set all to disabled You could also do a start transaction on form, only have a cancel button and cancel transaction in that. I think option one is better I would also set background color to illustrate that stuff can not be entered Regards Chuck ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chuck Miller Voice: (617) 739-0306 Informed Solutions, Inc.
