<< In a multi user set up won’t “PROPERTY TABLE pomemos 'READONLY TRUE’ “ make the entire table READONLY for all users or does it simply make it a local READONLY for that computer while leaving the actual table available to other users? >>
Despite the use of the word "TABLE" in the command, the actual R:Base table isn't affected in any way. In fact, if you have EEP code in your form that does an UPDATE on the table, then the table will actually be updated. If the you pop up another form based on the same table on top of the first one, the fields on that form will be editable (unless you separately make them read only). And, if the read only form is open non-modally (what R:Base calls "MDI"), then any other forms that are simultaneously open for that table will still be editable. What's happening is that an invisible, internal object on the form that links the form to the table is being set read only. That affects only the fields attached to that table on that current form. -- Larry
