I'm not quite sure what you mean !!!
1. What do you mean by fields, Textboxes or DB Fields?
2. Do you mean PROTECTED as 'Enabled=False' or as not anyone beeing able to change their contents?
3. What do you mean by 'Inquiry throuout the App'?
4. What is a 'Command Function'?
Sorry if i'm buzzing you but your question is somewhat vage.

Basically, in certain situations I only want to display a form with text boxes and DBgrid boxes etc for the user to view but not allow modifications of its contents.
I only want certain people to be allowed to modify text or DB grid contents but I still want other people to be able to view the information and make a selection from a list so that another form will pop up with greater detail of their selection. The next form also has to be have its contents protected from modification.
I also want to allow the user to be able to press certain command buttons to continue into another form.
I know I can use the locked properties on fields but am curious to know if there is a better solution.
