Switiching a doc to read only?

[plc001]

I have a form that allows the users to submit a request. Once the user submits a request, I would like to change the request to be on a view only status, that way they can not change it. Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks!

Put a field on your document called "Status".

Put the following code into the QueryModeChange event on your form:

Sub Querymodechange(Source As Notesuidocument, Continue As Variant)
If not source.editMode Then
If Source.Document.Status(0) = "Closed" Then
Messagebox "You may not edit a closed document."
continue = False
End If
End If
End Sub

Write some code into your save button or into the status field that updates the status field to closed when the document is saved.

When a user opens the document and tries to edit it the QueryModeChange event will fire, check the status field and not allow the mode change to continue if the status of the document is closed.

hope this helps!

In addition, stick the same idea into QueryOpen or PostOpen to stop them doing Ctrl - E from the view

Thanks that worked, but can I allow a UserRoles to still edit the doc like [ADMIN]?
