I did something very similar to what Dan's suggesting just last week! A user only has access to certain fields/buttons, but if a manager comes to their desk and discusses what the user wants to do, the manager clicks a "manager approval" button on that form, types in a password, sets a variable vManagerApproved = "yes", and while they're in that form eeps and cfas look for that variable (which is obviously then set to null on the form "on close" eep)

Make the eeps call custom form actions instead of eeps. Create a variable parameter to pass maybe called ‘user’ Then you can put a button with an eep to change the variable parameter to ‘manager’ When the custom form action runs it will look at the variable and run if it is ‘user’. If not, do not run. The button eep can have a password so only the manager can disable them. Hope that makes sense.

We want to control entries in specific fields based on a certain criteria. However in certain situations out in the shop I want the manager to be able to override those field EEPs. Is there a property command that can do this?
