modify report protected

[samsnead]

I have tried following code but unable to preview report unless I remove the word protected. Is there a way around this as we want users to be able to modify reports but want to use protected mode so they can have "real captions" instead of field names in report

SET REPORTBEHAVIOR 90

_REPORTBUILDER='reportbuilder.app'
_REPORTPREVIEW="ReportPreview.app"
_REPORTOUTPUT="ReportOutput.app"

SELECT billclntdriver

*THE COMMENTED LINES DON'T WORK WITH PREVIEW
* MODIFY REPORT ? protected WINDOW (oRepForm.Name)
* MODIFY REPORT ? protected
MODIFY REPORT ? WINDOW (oRepForm.Name) THIS WORKS

MODIFY REPORT without protection and from the Report menu, choose Properties. Click on the Protection tab and see which items are checked.

Hi Tamar - we wanted to run it in protected mode so that we could display meaningful captions for our users that would be modifying the report. I am just reading all I can on the report listener to see if I can code around this.

Understood. My suggestion is to do what I said at design-time and make sure you have the protection settings you intend. It sounds like someone's been overzealous in setting them.
