I am running an Import/Export traffic database. Once a shipment or warehouse entry has left, there is no need to modify any of the information pertaining to that record.

My question is:

Is is possible to lock a record from being modified?

Thanks in advance.

Add a field that auto-enters the user name when a record is created and an additional test to the validation that checks to see if the person modifying the record is also the current user.
This will provide a level of security not possible with access privileges.
Or use FM 5.5.
