I use the RBTI_FORM_MODE system variable. IF RBTI_FORM_MODE = 'Edit' THEN set object properties - visible, colors etc. ENDIF
The variable will show a status of Enter, Edit or Browse.

Is there a way in a form's BEFORE START EEP, to know if the form was called using an EDIT USING [formname] or BROWSE USING [formname]? Using Property, GetProperty, cval()? I know I could do the same thing by setting up global variables and such, but I would like the form to dynamically be able to tell if it is in edit mode or view only mode James
