Emmitt,
I am curious why not the following all in one solution:
 CREATE TEMPORARY VIEW testview (keycol,mytotc) AS +
    SELECT keycol,+
          ((IFNULL(textcol,0,1)) ++
           (IFNULL(intcol,0,1)) ++
           (IFNULL(dtcol,0,1)) ++
           (IFNULL(realcol,0,1)))+
      FROM testtable
Also if this is need all the time why not add a single computed column type 
INTEGER using above concepts to the original table.
If you wanted the computed column to resolve to a 0 or 1 value just add 
(IFGT((abovecode),0,1,0)) to the computed col def.

Jan,
 
Again, there might be a better way, but here is an illustration
of my suggestion.  Run this against any database.
 
  CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE testtable +
    (keycol INTEGER,+
     textcol TEXT (8),+
     intcol INTEGER,+
     dtcol DATETIME,+
     realcol REAL)
 
  INSERT INTO testtable (keycol) VALUES (1)
  INSERT INTO testtable (keycol,textcol) VALUES (2,'testtext')
  INSERT INTO testtable (keycol,textcol,intcol) VALUES
(3,'testtext',8898)
  INSERT INTO testtable (keycol,textcol,intcol,dtcol) VALUES +
                        (4,'testtext',8898,'04/07/2009
12:43:56')
  INSERT INTO testtable (keycol,textcol,intcol,dtcol,realcol)
VALUES +
                        (5,'testtext',8898,'04/07/2009
12:43:56',88.4456)
 
  CREATE TEMPORARY VIEW testview
(keycol,myc01,myc02,myc03,myc04) AS +
    SELECT keycol,+
           (IFNULL(textcol,0,1)),+
           (IFNULL(intcol,0,1)),+
           (IFNULL(dtcol,0,1)),+
           (IFNULL(realcol,0,1)) +
      FROM testtable
 
  CREATE TEMPORARY VIEW testview2 (keycol,mytotc) AS +
    SELECT keycol,+
           (myc01 + myc02 + myc03 + myc04) +
      FROM testview
 
  RETURN
 
Now observe the data in testview2.  Only the first row has a
zero in the computed column and would therefore be editable in your scenario.

Group, 
  
Any
one got a shortcut for checking if there is data in columns in a row? 
While
I can do this easily for one column I need to see if there is any 
data
in like 40 columns in a row. If any of these columns has data 
then
I need to disable the EDIT function.
