The program I am using has records coming from 2 differenct sources. 1 source is from a vendor program - downloaded, the other is data entry from our office.

The screen in question uses @ ... say ..... get .....

If the record is from the vendor, I do not want the user to be able to change the options. However, if it's data entry in house, she needs to be able to make changes.

I have a flag which is working correctly that indicates where the record is from. I tried the following:

@ .... say .... get ......
@ .... say .... get ......
@ .... say .... get ......

if _change
read
else
read nolock
endif

The screen was read with a nolock but it still allowed me to edit the data. What am I doing wrong or is there a better way to do this?

Thanks for you help,
Sunshine
