Doug: In my application of this, I was using it on a single table. My forms have many tabs, but those tabs had read-only grids, so it was only the first tab of data that needed to be marked read-only. I don't see why you couldn't have multiple 'readyonly' remarks. But yes you're right, the 'dontshow' commands work on a FORM level, so it would apply to every table on that form.
