Karen - thanks! I would never have believed the syntax would change for
differing items.

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.

I think the problem is right here
PROPERTY TABLE CustPN 'READONLY TRUE'
That should be
PROPERTY TABLE CustPN READONLY 'TRUE'
The read only is valid only for that session of the form. This belongs
in the ON AFTER START eep.
