I set all the textboxes to Enabled = .F. when I build the form. I have a button labelled Edit which has something like the following code:
If This.Caption = 'Edit' This.Caption = 'Save' ThisForm.SetAll('Enabled', .T., '_textbox') ThisForm.cmdCancelEdit.Visible = .T. Else This.Caption = 'Edit' ThisForm.SetAll('Enabled', .F., '_textbox') ThisForm.cmdCancelEdit.Visible = .F. TABLEUPDATE(MyTable) Endif The Canceledit button has the same code as the Else block except that it has TABLEREVERT. The above code has been greatly simplified but you should get the idea.
