Jim, In your case, BROWSE command is used from the get-go to flag everything as read only. Nothing will change nor any form control PROPERTY command will alter that state of the underlying record set. To achieve your goal, first you will need to use the typical EDIT USING formname WHERE ... ORDER BY ... command, and then take advantage of all PROPERTY/GETPROPERTY commands to change the state of form controls dynamically, on demand, or as "On After Start" EEP. Got R:Docs 7.6 or R:Docs 9.0? Take a look at all supported PROPERTY/GETPROPERTY commands related to form control(s) itself (by Category), form table, or the entire form itself. Then, use appropriate commands as you see fit. Good luck!
