Re: How to display read-only input form

Can you call Modify Record with code either lock and reload the record(s), or disable entry for all objects? Keith - CDI > On Feb 6, 2019, at 3:31 PM, Jim Crate via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> > wrote: > > From a listbox view, I’d like to open the input form for a record but not > allow

Re: How to display read-only input form

the only solution I found was: variables. Built the form with variables. - variable are enterable. User can tab through the variables, copy text, and even change the data - but the if they change the data it reverts to the original value(s) with this idea in mind, object methods, or form
