Mathew,
I would think having the Admin to have the ability to choose his preferences whether or not he wants to use the Lock feature might be a great idea too.. Didn't think of that one :-)

Subject: Re: Enhancement idea: Field Label for fields
Joe,
Or a similar idea I bumped into in IReports is that you lock all
objects to prevent movement with the mouse. (But still allow movement
via the field properties changes in X,Y values. :)
I am not sure I would like to need to unlock several fields on a tab
to be able to move them later. Rather I would be happy with a "safety"
that tells the tool to ignore those kinds of mouse inputs for now.
(But implemented at run time, and a transient value. Maybe the setting
gets pushed into the admin prefs, maybe not.)
