>I have created a simple form with fields from a table and want to edit existing records and add new records. I have noticed that a sample form I have seen will not allow any field to be modified unless the edit button or add button is pressed. I realize that individual fields have the enable function but how does one get all the fields enabled or disabled based on a command button?
To enable a field, you change its Enabled or ReadOnly property. For instance, in the Click() event of a command button:
ThisForm.TxtField1.Enabled = .F.
or
ThisForm.TxtField1.ReadOnly = .T.
