Locking Fields

[hsengsbc]

Can someone please walk me through how to lock certain fields in a form? I've already read through this post http://forums.adobe.com/thread/684049

and download Paul's example and copied his LockAllFields script onto my form but it's not working. I only want to lock certain fields and not others so a LockAll would not work for me. I know how to get to the XML script page for my form but that's all I know about XML's in Designer! Thank you.

To lock a field you woudl use the object name and then the add the property called access to lock/unlock the form. So if the field name is Object1 the command to lock the field woudl be Object1.access = "readOnly". To unlock the field you woudl use Object1.access = "". Note that the case of the objects and the commands is important.

You will need one command for each field you want to lock.
