>Is there a simple way to switch a standard data entry form to read-only? I have a rather complex five-tab page frame, including a grid for a child table, that I would like to be able to use for those who have been designated with Read Only ability. The user status would be identified as a property of the application object, so it would be easy to check in the form's init method, but then what? Do I need to list all of the controls on the form with a readonly = .t.? (assuming the default is .f. -- although the opposite might actually be more efficient (having the controls made editable for those few users with the authority to edit.

Look at the .SetAll() method also.
