Hello you all,

NorthwindCS has a customer phone list which I'm interested in but I noticed
that it allows data editing and it shouldn't be happening. I changed Permit
Editing option under the DATA tab to No and blocked the editing part as
advertised but it also blocked the index below from working. Is there a way
around the problem?

TIA

Mike

Hi,

If only some (even just one) control has to be available for edition, it may
be preferable to not "lock" at the form level, but each control
individually. Fortunately, you are not obliged to change the property
individually. You can group-select the controls, and their common properties
will be available. If the group-selected controls have the Locked property,
set it to True.

Hoping it may help,
