EASY Question for the Weekend

HI,

Let's say I have a subform with five text fields in it. I want to put a button into the form and when I click the button, I want it to make all five text fields "protected". Is there a way to address all five text fields as a single entity so that I only have to write one line of code to protect them all?

Instead of saying textfield1.access = "protected"; textfield2.access = "protected"; textfield3.access = "protected"; and so on...

I would rather say textfield_group.access = "protected";

Do "groups" work like that or is there a better way to do this?

Thanks,

Joe

If you wrap the five fields in a subform, then set the subforms access to readOnly then that setting will be set for all child objects of the subform.

Thanks Paul!!!

Yah...I have been coding for a long time today and I am getting punchy. This is not the type of work I usually do.

Should have thought of this myself.
