Here's what I do:
1. I start it up with edit: EDIT USING formname
2. In the form properties, on after start:
PROPERTY TABLE po 'READONLY TRUE'
3. I locate a button on the form that says "edit mode, compid of btnEdit.
The code in that button:
SET VAR vECaption TEXT = NULL
GETPROPERTY btnEdit CAPTION vECaption
IF vECaption = 'Edit' THEN
-- They are in View mode; switch to editable
PROPERTY TABLE po 'READONLY FALSE'
PROPERTY combo ENABLED TRUE
PROPERTY btnDiscard VISIBLE TRUE
PROPERTY btnEdit CAPTION 'View'
PROPERTY btnEdit HINT 'Click button to switch to VIEW ONLY mode'
ELSE
-- They are in Edit mode; switch to view only
IF rbti_dirty_flag = 1 THEN
SAVEROW
ENDIF
PROPERTY TABLE po 'READONLY TRUE'
PROPERTY combo ENABLED FALSE
PROPERTY btnDiscard VISIBLE FALSE
PROPERTY btnEdit CAPTION 'Edit'
PROPERTY btnEdit HINT 'Click button to switch to EDIT mode'
ENDIF

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Change form from browse mode to edit Mode
I am creating a form that will open using ‘browse using formname where....”
I want to put a button on the form that the user will click and put in a
password. If the password is correct then the form will switch to edit mode.
I am drawing a blank on how to change the form from browse to edit mode.
TIA
