Hi Nadya,

To my best knowledge there isn't a way to disable field or record validations without deleting them.

B.T.W. your validationrule might also be written in the following manner:

VARTYPE(oValid)="O" AND (oValid.nLocked=0 OR FieldRule())

Or construct something like:

(VARTYPE(_DisableRule)="L" AND _DisableRule) OR FieldRule()

Where the default field rule is fired when the _DisableRule variable does not exist.


This would be more or less the same way I would try to disable the fields and record rules temporarely.
