If, when you set all the fields enabled, they are bound to fields in a table, and the table is not sitting on a real record, nothing will enable.

Before setting enabled, add a blank record to the table (APPEND BLANK). Then call your SetMode(.T.). You won't need to set default values for the controls since they will be set by the new blank record.

I'm guessing here that this is what you are seeing.

The form initializes and sets all fields to NOT enabled using a function called SETMODE. SETMODE uses one parameter, a logical value, which tells it whether to set enabled on or off. actually code within setmode is

The only difference is that one function is using the current record in the table and the other is using default values. Why won't the fields turn "ON" when we move through the setall line? The line IS being hit in both instances.
