I'm not sure if you can use xdExpression programmatically to do this at runtime or not, but you should try it via the Properties-&gt;Display-&gt;Conditional wizard. Search on xdExpression in this forum. You might be able to do it, but you'll likely have to write a little function to return true or false depending on user role and row id. The function will have to calculate that. <br /><br />Another option is to create two sections inside your repeating section - one for read-only and one for non-read-only and use xdExpression to control which one is displayed based on id of section. <br /><br />Let us know if this works. I'm optimisitic, but don't have time to prototype right now. Good luck!<br /><br />Patrick Halstead [InfoPath MVP]<br />InfoPathDevhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/4895.aspxMon, 05 Sep 2005 14:41:06 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:4895lp120https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/4895.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&PostID=4895Hi all,<br /><br />I have a form with several fields including some closed in a repeatng section.<br />i added a button that by user role can change the status of the controls to REad-only<br />what i want to acheive is that IP will let me "lock" each instance of a repeating sec seperatly (now all the instaces are closing).<br />Is it possible to do it?<br />Thanks a lot in advance...
