Read Only / Edit in Forms

[Carlee]

Hello,

I have forms with an edit/read only button. This button
works great, except that if the user wishes to search a
value using a lookup search, they can't in read only. Is
there an alternate ?

What would be ideal is if the screen can be no changes, no
deletes, no adds, but you can still use the look up list
to search the list of records for the form.

Kind regards,

Carlee

Please clarify what type of control you use to search. If
it is a combobox (dropdown menu) that is not bound then
you can use the On Enter and On Exit events of the control.

On Enter set the form allow edits property to true and on
exit make it false.

Hope this helps... Bish
