Creating an event handler is no problem if you skilled with .net and have Visual Studio - there are plenty of walkthroughs on the net that will tell you how to do this. &nbsp;You could also easily achive this process using a workflow. &nbsp;Sharepoint Designer will let you do it without code. <br />
<br />
Your problem will be making an item &quot;read only&quot; - I would suggest you use &quot;in place records management&quot; and declare the item a record. &nbsp;You can do this in code or in a workflow.

Your problem will be making an item "read only" - I would suggest you use "in place records management" and declare the item a record.  You can do this in code or in a workflow.

Declaring an item as a record works only with document libraries. &nbsp;SharePoint designer workflow can set list item permissions but it cannot set an item read only. &nbsp;I am still looking for code help with itemupdating event.<br />

thanks

Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a requirement where I need to make a list Item read only after status field value= 'Complete'. I am thinking of writing an event handler to do this as setting item level permissions is not something that I am looking into.<br />
<br />
Can anyone help how to achieve this?<br />
<br />
Thanks
