Albert: it looks weird, but Doug's syntax is right. Back when we had this discussion initially and he proposed that to me, I made a comment back then that you must have the quotes around the entire thing 'READONLY TRUE'. If you put the quotes around just the "true" thing (as you would other typical property commands), it does not work.
Doug: I have this on my form "on after start" eep: PROPERTY TABLE potrans 'READONLY TRUE' PROPERTY combo ENABLED FALSE If you have combo boxes on your form, you should assign an id to all of them and disable them. Otherwise the user can pull down values from the combo, the data appears to be changed on the form, but it does not save the value. So it's confusing to the user.
