Hi Guys

    Display methods can only display data, they can't handle data input.

    Edit methods can handle data input. Depending on the scenario, perhaps you can develop an edit method and use it on the form. You would need to write code that uses the user input and updates the same data than what the display method fetches.

    Hi Adam,

    As Andre reminded(Thanks), the Data method is indeed a display method.

    Hi Adam,

    The naming convention of the control indicates that it is a method. Probably a display method. Please verify the data method property. Then you can find the method and see if it is a display or edit method. If it is a display method, you can't change the property. Then you need to find or create an edit method for it.

    Hi Adam,

    Some field properties on the standard table object are not editable, I think you can only modify it through code.

    CustTable_ds.object(fieldNum(CustTable, field)).allowedit(true);
