I have a master-detail form ( a sales form with sales line items ). &nbsp;After a user completes a line item, I want to prevent that user from editing it. &nbsp;They can go ahead and click on the delete button and re-enter if they have to. &nbsp;I am creating an audit trail for the sales form. &nbsp;I modded the delete button script to insert a record to the audit database when clicked, but I want to &quot;lock&quot; the fields from being modified after the line item is completed. &nbsp;This is using FM 6, so we are going pretty far back. <br />

How do I prevent a line item from being edited after it is entered?

FileMaker Pro is a cross-platform relational database application that integrates a database engine with a graphical user interface (GUI) and security features, allowing users to modify the database by dragging new elements into layouts, screens, or forms. FileMaker evolved from a DOS application, but since 1992 has been available for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS, and can be used in a cross-platform environment.
