The .RBTI_Form_Mode variable will tell you whether the form was brought up in "enter" or "edit" mode.
What I do is to make the entire table read-only, rather than individual fields: IF RBTI_Form_Mode = 'edit' THEN PROPERTY TABLE read_only 'true' ENDIF (I'm not at my regular computer so I can't be sure that syntax above is correct, going out of memory) Karen -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Brock <[email protected]> To: RBASE-L Mailing List <[email protected]> Sent: Fri, Feb 28, 2014 11:22 am Subject: [RBASE-L] - Enter/Edit - Read only or not I am converting an older version of Rbase to 9.5. In the old version of a form, you had a way of making a field only be able to be changed if in enter mode and when in edit mode the value could not be changed. Is there a simple way to do this in 9.5 or do you have to read the form property type ie(edit/enter/browse) and then set the property for the control to be readonly or not? Thanks, Matthew D. Brock
