DBMemo and read only

[heydyrtt]

Is there a way to make the below strings read only. I will still need to enter notes in the memo field, just want to prevent the Lines added from being deleted. How can I have that read only and still use the memo field.

String ModifiedDate;
ModifiedDate = "Modify Date:"+Now();

String ModifiedBY;
ModifiedBY = "Modified By:" +DM->tblSrmfirstname->AsString.Trim()+" "+DM->tblSrmlastname->AsString.Trim();

DM->tblCalls->Edit();
DBMemo3->Visible = true;
DBMemo3->Lines->Add(ModifiedDate);
DBMemo3->Lines->Add(ModifiedBY);
DM->tblCalls->Post();

Thanks

Heydyrtt

TDBMemo has a ReadOnly property but you indicate you still need to update it but not delete a records. I've done this but only by locking the database itself. Look at your DB to see if you can prevent deletions.
