[RBASE-L] - Re: Browse to Edit in a form

[Doug Hamilton]

Karen - what about doing it at the table level rather than form or component level? PROPERTY TABLE <FORMTABLENAME> 'DISABLECONTROLS' PROPERTY TABLE <FORMTABLENAME> 'READONLY TRUE' I haven't tried these but it might give you some ideas.

But the form already takes quite a long time to load and I don't think he'll be happy with waiting for it to load again. Is my only other option to assign the componentID to each field one-by-one on the form?  No way to mass-assign the same componentID to a bunch of fields, right? Just want to make sure I'm not missing something I could be doing.  Trade-off on form loading time vs. programming time to do the compID thing.  Karen
