Create an extra field, which is boolean or numeric and then programatically set it to true, to turn on read-only or false to turn off. Then for the affected forms just have them look at the flag field and if it is true = readonly. etc.https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/12917.aspxTue, 11 Jul 2006 13:13:47 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:12917Krispi0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/12917.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=45&PostID=12917Hello<br /><br />is it possible to set a field readonly programmatically. I need this because with the conditional formatting of a control I can't cover all of my situations. The conditions should only trigger in some situations and I think you can't do that with the conditional formatting? Am I right?
