Lee,
I'd have to open up FMPro to find the exact right jargon and method,
but right off the top of my head, I'm pretty sure you could do this
via a conditional privilege set. Something like, IF Printed = No, user
group XX has edit privileges. That's may be the best path to look at.
I've got something like that built into our billing system so that
after our account manager has sent out the statements, the staff can't
come back and change an invoice that's already been processed and sent
to the vendor.

Subject: locking records
Hi,
I think this has come up before. Is there a way of locking a record
once
its been printed so it cannot be modified.
I can change the validation of each field to achieve this but it
seems a
long winded way of doing it. Currently if a record has been printed
(the
word 'printed' is shown on the screen). From that a field validation
calc. is set so that if the word 'printed' is on the record the
'validation' fields cannot be modified.
--
It would be ideal if the word 'printed' is in that field, nothing
could
be modified on that record or maybe something in the print script
could
be added to achieve the same end.
