Do you want to have security for an entire column or individual rows of a specific column. I recently had to secure a column in a grid that contained a hyperlink. The entire column of hyperlinks was either enabled or not as per security. If this is what you need I will go back and dig up the code. It involves creating a hyperlink templatecolumn and then setting attributes for the column depending on security settings. Next week I will actually be working on a grid that needs to have specific rows of a column secured. If this is what you need I could share that also. Talk to you soon. BTW I use role-based security exclusively. I have not done this for user-based security.

>>>Another option I tried is use Enabled instead of ReadOnly. The problem with this (as far as I can tell) is that with Web apps Enabled makes it difficult if not impossible to iterate through the controls that are currently disabled, because they do not show up in the Request.Form.AllKeys -array, which I use to do the looping. If there is another way to loop through all controls on a web form regardless of their Enabled -status, I would be quite happy to use that with Enabled on/off (I tried to figure it out but could not make it happen for some reason...). I guess this would also avoid the whole issue on what is readonly and what is not.
