not allowing user to edit data

[Bri123456]

Hi I want the option for the user to enter data but not edit the data displayed in my datawindow. Is there a property that I can use (something lik in access for a form form.allowedits()) thanks for any help with this

Bruce,

Are you talking about being able to enter new data but protect the existing data? If so, you can set the column properties inside the dw under Expressions tab to:

Protected:
If( IsRowNew(), 0, 1 )

Background Color:
If( IsRowNew(), RGB( 255,255,255 ), RGB( 192,192,192 ))

The above dynamic-expressions enable columns for all new rows and disable for existing rows. Further, the background color is set to indicate their editability.

Check your data window tab property ..edit column must be assigned some tab value in stead of zero .

And by the way if want to protect ur previous data n add new ..then use variablles and assign them accordingly.

Hope it solves ur probs.
