I customized the ORDERDTL.DATE01 field onto the Order Entry form,
(Lines Tab) but I want it to be display-only. Setting the ReadOnly
property to TRUE doesn't do it and there doesn't appear to be an
obvious way.

The "On Hand" field on the same tab appears exactly the way I want
Date01 to appear - basically greyed out with no ability to touch the
data in the field.

Can you use customization to do this?

Hi Brad,

Yes, you need to set the enabled property of the object to
false. This will achieve the correct result. Do this on the properties of
the new text box you have bound to the date01 field.

It works fine until I save the customization, shut down Vantage, fire
it back up again and the enabled property reverts back to TRUE. Is
there a way to make it stick?

I usually set the control to ReadOnly = true
EpiKeyField = false
Enabled = false

and even then, there seems to be no guarantee that it will come back the
way you want.
I have set fields like that and invisible too. When you open the form in
developer mode it works fine. When you open the form in run mode it is
fine. when you enter new data in the form it is fine but when you open
existing data the control reverts back to being enabled, visible.

Good Luck,

Bernie.

I've run in to occasions where setting the attributes as described below doesn't work. And fields set as invisible appear when other fields have changed value. Dragging the fields off the sheet works.

I usually set the control to ReadOnly = true
EpiKeyField = false
Enabled = false

and even then, there seems to be no guarantee that it will come back the
way you want.
I have set fields like that and invisible too. When you open the form in

fine. when you enter new data in the form it is fine but when you open
existing data the control reverts back to being enabled, visible.

Good Luck,
