Building off of Karen’s email you can do read only at the field level as well. So if you want only certain fields to be editable.
On after start eep IF RBTI_Form_Mode = 'edit' THEN PROPERTY <Component ID> READONLY 'TRUE' ENDIF You can give all the fields the same component id or use wild cards to assign multiple fields the readonly.

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
