OLE bound frames

[RichardDickerson]

Hello,

I have an OLE bound frame object (an excel spreadsheet) that is embedded into the DB. I was just wondering if there is a way to activate it (in it's own application not inplace) for read only mode if the field is locked and read/write when the field is unlocked? What determines if the field is locked or not depends on the users access level to the form.

Thanks,

Richard
