BTW just so you know as a workaround I did try setting these fields using AL's again to Read Only and then the background thingy works but setting them defaulted at the form level to Read Only makes them Read Write in the Search Mode when the form is opened.
>From what I remember in the previous version this workaround was not required..

Request ID, Create Date, Last Modified by and Modified Date have their display property set as Read Only but the action SET-RO-COLOR fails to set their background color.. I am pretty sure in version 6.3 where on a couple of custom apps I had used SET-RO-COLOR successfully on all types of fields as long as their display property was set to Read Only.. Has anyone else noticed this on V 7.1??? Cheers Joe D'Souza No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
