Thanks for replying. I hope I made myself clear enough below.

It's the way CodeBook's entry forms work. Sounds like it's not > quite what you're doing in this instance though... What are you doing? 8-) > I based my form on Geof Whitham's "One-to-Many Codebook Forms, Bizobjs and Methods". When my form is called first I have the user select a work order number from a list on a selection form. This form then passes the work order number to the doform() as a parameter for the form in question. This main form has 3 bizobjs on it in a 1:Many:Many relation. The parent bizobj filters the first combobox with inspection lots. The second bizobj filters the second combobox with the serial numbers in the selected lot. The last bizobj is for the grid on the form that contains all of the defects for the selected serial number. Is there a way to make the forms read-only so that the user has to click a button to edit/change the data? That way they can change the lot and/or serial number selection without being asked to save. > > Mark Stanton > One small step for mankind... > > > [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
