How do I lock fields with designer?

[garek0071]

I mean after someone enters some info and tabs out of the field, I want it to lock, or set to read-only. You can do it with acrobat, is it possible in LIveCycle?

You need to change the access to "readOnly."



Let's say your field is called "EnterText." It would look something like this:



EnterText.access = "readOnly";



Then, to open it again, make it



EnterText.access = "open";



I would put the script in either the "change" or "exit" event. Hope that helps!
