Default Protected edit box - 11-11-2009 , 02:04 PM






Hi,
I want to browse text blocks in an edit box or similar but but prevent
making changes (even if the user has write permissiont to db). So - is
there other way to writeprotect edit box than prevent enterin it?

you have fieldA which you want to protect
create a new calculated field cB <text; fieldA>
and put this field on the layout.

A calc field cannot be edited. It shows the results of the calculation
based on the entering argument. The argument may be edited, but not if
you don't put it on the layout.
