hi david,

my table has description, author and date. when user is equal the author, i want the row to be editable.

initially, i want grid to be readonly. i should have a command button that should set all rows equal to author to be editable.

i tried your suggestion, on the when() of each text in my grid, i do

if author=nuser
   this.readonly = .f.
endif

but when i run the form, i see all rows as editable even if author is not equal to user.

i am sure that user is equal the author but it does not set it as editable.

any help?
