prevent changes to a field

#1

FMP 10 on WinXP

I have a file that I import data to. Some of the fields I do not want the
users to alter. Is there a way of restricting the field, regardless of
layout, so the field cannot be modified??

Give the users a privilege set. You can spefify the fields that can be
modified and the fields that can't.

Checkbox field option: prevent modification of value on data entry?

You might create a gobal data entry field
and an auto enter option for the record field which will use the value
from the global field if empty. Otherwise it will remain unchanged.

And you might display field contents from a calculated copy

copyfield =
original field

which does show results only but can not be modified.
