>Hi all,

>I've got a form that uses a frame (form1.mainframe) with five tabs (form1.mainframe.tab1, etc.). Right now, I only allow access to the frame after the user clicks an Edit button on the form. At that point, they can access the frame, make edits, change tabs, etc.

>How could I keep things as they are (preventing access to changing the data), but allow them to switch tabs without having to click the Edit button? I want them to be able to view everything on each tab but not be able to change any of the data on the tabs unless they choose Edit.

Make tabs enabled=.t.

Create new Method named PageProcess
In your Init Event just put:

thisform.PageProcess(.f.)

** In Click of the Edit button
thisform.PageProcess(.t.)

** There where you exit of Edit mode
thisform.PageProcess(.f.)

*** Method PageProcess

LPARAMETERS lbEnableControls
FOR EACH oPage in thisform.PageFrame
    oPage.SetAll("Enabled", lbEnableControls)
NEXT
