While the general consensus is that DIALOG is the way forward, I’ll try this for now since it should work with the code as it is. In more user-oriented parts of the system, I am building more dynamic interfaces with subforms and such but for a quick “let me search and display data in this table” admin view this is convenient and easy. > If a field is set to focusable but not enterable, the user can't edit the > content, but will be able to select and copy. This works exactly as I wanted. Thanks!
