[RBASE-L] - Re: Making a table readonly

[Doug Hamilton]

I was wondering too, Karen, but it made it work, that's all I know.  Unless there was something else that I inadvertently cleaned up while rewriting it with Razzak's solution. My original stab at this was TABLE 'READONLYTRUE' in an OnAfterStart EEP, but the table remained editable. Now that it's working, maybe I'll go back and take out the DONTSHOWs and see what happens. The forms in which I'm using this are one-table forms, so my next question is would this work on multi-table forms? It seems the 'READONLYTRUE' could be applied on a table by table basis, but the 'DONTSHOW's are form-wide, so would that screw up the operation of the editable tables in the form? I'll test in a day or so and let you know.

Karen A belated "thank you" to all.  Razzak's solution worked and the ancillary questions and comments were informative. I had the solution, PROPERTY TABLE formtablename 'READONLY TRUE' located in the On After Start EEP. I was missing was the DONTSHOWSAVEDIALOG and DONTSHOWDELETEDIALOG properties. I added those and it works as perfectly.  Prior to issuing the properties, I compare the user's ID to a list of "full access" users stored in a table and apply the properties accordingly.
