Re: Search vs. Modify
OK, here's another one, I'd like to lock down a drop down list field, but I would like the user to be able to type in the field when they are searching. The reason is: when they select the drop down list (list A), they have to first select 2 other drop down lists first (to get the data for the list A) But I don't want them to have to do that when they do a search. I think I know that answer to this and it's "Use the Advance button."

Or you could have Change Fields active links that fire on the various Window Types. On Query, it would leave the fields all enabled. On Modify, each field would only be enabled if the preceding one was populated and validated.

Yeah, create an active link that will do a change fields and set
the
field to read/write if the $OPERATION$ = "QUERY"

Does anyone else consistently have this problem?
I want to lock down some of my character fields (by switching
them to
Read Only) on the modify screen, but on Search, I'd like this
field to
be open for searches so that my users don't have to use the
Advanced
button to do searches.

Re: Search vs. Modify
Lisa, You would have to do some ARS magic. Add a DO field in the same position as your dropdown. On Open window with $OPERATION$ = "Query" do a Change Field Active Link to Show the display_only_ARS_Magic field. On search you will need to build the qualification in your hidden Query Bar (field ID 1005). 'DropDown_Field' LIKE "%"+$display_only_ARS_Magic$+"%" Just remember that they will undoubtedly mistype the value and complain about the inaccuracy of the system which you will get with the Advanced Search button also. My syntax may not all be here. This is just a rough draft. John J.
