In Rbase for Windows ver 6.5, when creating a form, there is an option for each field that has been assigned a look up value that asks whether or not I want the user to be allowed to change the value in the field. Is there an equivalent setting in Rbase 7.6 forms? If so, I must be blind, but I can't find it!
Mike, Technically, all lookup variables defined in 7.x or Turbo V-8 for Windows are true lookups and will not change, even if you try to overwrite them. However, you have two options: make them Read-Only, or un-check the option for Tab Stop. To assign the "Read Only" property to DB or Variable Edit controls, you may double-click or use [F11] key on the control and then check the option for Read Only. And, that's all there is to it! You may also take a look at the sample forms included with RRBYW14 to demonstrate the use of such feature. Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
