Changing a Record to Read-Only after an event.

I have a Developer application that needs to be modified. This
application includes several fields as well as a comments
field. I'd like to change all updatable fields (not to included
the comments field) to READ-ONLY after a certain event. Then
after a certain date, I'd like to make the comments field READ-
ONLY.
Do you have any suggestions?

Dear Regina,
Have you tried to set_block_property in pre-record trigger to update allowed/not allowed depending on the event. And in post-record update not allowed. These triggers must be on block level. Also on item level to the item 'Comment' define pre-item trigger where take a new decision whether you want to open the entire block or not, the same way as on block level triggers. But in post-item trigger always make the entire block read-only again.

Make a field required on record creation, read only after that

Hello,
Does anyone know of a way to make a pick-list field required on record creation, but read-only after that? The other twist to this is that we need to allow this field to also be read-write for all the integration edits, since this field's value could change in the enterprise database.
Thanks,
Neal G.

Hi !
I think you can add a validation rule for that. Something like :
IIf(PRE('<YOURFIELD>') IS NULL, <> '', = PRE('<YOURFIELD>'))
This means that if the previous value of your field is null (it's a creation), so the value must be different than blank. Else, it must be equal to the previous value, so not modified.
I didn't tested it, but I let you get back to me if it works... or not !
You'll just have to add a message saying that this field is required on creation and readonly after...
Hope this will help, feel free to ask more !

How to make fields read only after form is filled in

I am creating forms to be used within our company. The customer srv representative (CSR) would fill in the form and send it to the customer for signature and initial. There are a few issues I can't solve.
1) I need to make the rate & services fields read only after the CSR initials the form

Will the CSR have Acrobat or just Reader, and what type of computer will the CSR be using (Windows/Mac/mobile OS)? If just Reader (Wind/Mac), this is possible by setting the fields to read-only with JavaScript. The problem is this can't be considered secure, even if using a password as discussed here: Password-protect and hide one form field
With Acrobat you have the ability to flatten certain fields, which makes it a bit more difficult to change the "fields".

Word 2010 document becomes Read-Only after saving it

Hi,
My Word 2010 document is becoming "Read Only" after saving it, for information my doucment is on the desktop . I searched on this forum and find a couple of solutions (deactivating auto saving, etc.) but it does not work at all. Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Sylvain.

, I wonder why the docuemnt is becoming Read-Only when I am saving it on the Desktop...
I've read articles and blogs of people arguing each side of whether you should use the Desktop as a storage folder and I really
don't have anything substantial to add to either the pro or con side of the issue.
However, what I know about Word is that it behaves a bit different and seems to have issues when you’re actively editing document that are stored
on the Desktop. I would speculate that the issue has something to do with the screen driver software.
When you’re editing a document, Word is actually using something like a dozen or more temporary hidden files and some of these are stored in the
same folder as the source document. If the source document’s folder is the Desktop, then there has to be interaction with the screen driver.
This interaction with the screen driver is one variable that makes the Desktop folder unique and possibly problematic and thus Word under certain conditions
makes the file Read Only.

Make all text fields read only after signing form

Hello,
I have a live cycle form which needs to have all of the text fields set as read only after signing.
The java script has been placed in the post sign event of a digital signature field.
for(var i=0;i<this.numFields;i++) {
var cNm = this.getNthFieldName(i);
if (cNm.type = "text") this.getField(cNm).readonly = true;
After signing the form the following console error is shown:
this.getNthFieldName is not a function
Can anyone please advise how to revise the script so that when the form is signed all of the text fields become ready only?
Any assistance will be most appreciated.
Thank you.

You don't need any JavaScript to do this.
In Designer you can setup the signature field in that way, that all fields will be locked after signing.

Firefox profile folder becomes read-only after closing browser

firefox profile folder becomes read-only after closing browser
It is a problem with firefox or is it this to to a virus?
How to fix? How to prevent?

Only a check mark in the Read-only box means that a folder or file is Read-only. 
Windows doesn't check all the files in a folder so instead displays a greenish block to indicate that it is not sure. 
You need to look at the files individually to see if any are read-only. 
Easiest to do that is to make the Attributes visible in "View > Details" mode: Choose Details in Windows Explorer.

NTFS Partition on external HDD changed to read only after failed eject

Hi all
I have a Mybook studio split into 2 partitions, a NTFS one and a HFS+ one. After removing the USB cable too quickly following the eject my NTFS partition is read only [I checked using 'get info'].
I need to change this back and I'm stumped - please advise
Many kind regards in advance

Thank you all very much for the advice you have given me. I attempted to make changes with NTFS3G - i upgraded to Tuxera NTFS [which REALLY screwed up everything] - and got a monstorous error message. Disk utility was no good to me either telling me to reformat.
For anyone reading this thread in search of a solution - I used bootcamp to load up my Win7 Partition and then repaired the disk using the built in utility accessble from right click> properties.
It appears there was some corruption causing my problem (?) as it created a folder called found.000 which has a random assortment of files from all over the partition in it. Hopefully it found all the lost data but I have no way of comparing it's before and after state.
Moral of the story - NTFS isn't quite ready for Mac yet, at least in my experience.
Now if only we could get time machine to work with NTFS..
Cheers again to you all!

USB Stick unrecognized/read only after Gparted

Hi
I partitioned a brand new USB thumb drive with Gparted and then installed Fedora LiveOS on it. This was just a test as I really wanted to use Larch to get Arch on the stick. So I tried to repartitioned it again. But Gaparted now complains that the stick is read only and so does not change anything.
I then moved to fdisk. fdisk will allow me to look at the partitions and will even change them. But after using Fdisk to repartition and then running mkfs.whatever-i-want the partitions can not be mounted. Even dd exits with a read only drive error.
Fdisk can manipulate the partitions but it complains that DOS mode is not supported and asks me to give the c and u commands. Despite this the drive is not recognised when I plug it into the computer.
After using fdisk on the drive several times, gparted now claims that there is no valid partition table on the drive and so shows only unallocated space. But it still won't write any partition info to the device, claiming its read only!
I'm stumped! Anybody have a clue how to get around this?
emk

dd fails with an input/output error after writing 17MB. This is an 8GB stick. Fdisk shows no partitions. But is unable to write to the drive after I create partitions. Here is the output.

I don't have any ext4 partitions on it. THere should only be vfat. My initial partitions were ext3 and vfat. I then switched the ext3 to ext2 after the problems begun and finally just went with a big vfat. I initially used gparted on the drive so as to label the partitions. I really feel that gparted may be the culprit here but I have no proof. This is a brand new stick that had not been written to before.
And from gparted:

Is it possible to circumvent read-only after a pdf has been signed?

Hi, my pdf has a signature field. In the signed event I have make all fields read-only. Is it possible for someone to come along and make them not read-only anymore? It seems the easiest way to make my document tamper-proof. Thank you.

goodprogramming wrote:
It's not the file that is set to read-only at the OS level. The signature field has an event for signed. Once that occurs I have the checkbox selected that says mark all fields as read-only. I want to be sure it is really read-only and that there is no way to make it non-read-only.
save as does not change the read onlyness of the pdf. I have tried this.
It shouldn't matter.
Making changes to the file after the signature is added will invalidate the signature. You'll know someone has been messing around if the sig is invalidated.
Even if you have a reason to do what you want, you can't. At least not without a very expensive Digital Rights Management solution plus a server to run it.

Profile preferences reset to "Read Only" after turning it off.

I cannot start Firefox. It says it is already running. Task Manager does not show any instances running. There is no "parent.lock" file in the "......default" folder. Each time I look at the preferences for the "profile" folder, it shows "read only" is set. I clear it and the next time I look at the preferences "read only" is set.
I have uninstalled and re-installed Firefox but it still resets"read only". Looks like the profile folder has something corrupt in it.

Only a check mark in the Read-only box means that a folder or file is Read-only. 
Windows doesn't check all the files in a folder so instead displays a green block to indicate that it is not sure. 
You always need to look at the files individually. 
Easiest to do that is to make the Attributes visible in "View > Details" mode: Choose Details in Windows Explorer.
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Make a field read-only after selection made

I have the below code:
var currency = topmostSubform.IFFPage3.Page.Body.rdoDefaultCurrency.rawValue;
topmostSubform.IFFPage6.Page.FirstCustomer.cboBasicGrossEarningsCurrency.rawValue = currency;
topmostSubform.IFFPage6.Page.FirstCustomer.cboOvertimeBonusCurrency.rawValue = currency;
topmostSubform.IFFPage6.Page.FirstCustomer.cboFeesCurrency.rawValue = currency;
topmostSubform.IFFPage6.Page.FirstCustomer.cboEarnedOtherCurrency.rawValue = currency;
I need the ones =currency to be read only. Is there a way to make them readonly? I dont want them to be able to change the drop down after a master currency is selected.

Use the 'access' property. YourField.access="protected" and YourField.access="open".

[solved] Ext4 goes read-only after nodealloc

Hello.
I've been trying this many times, but never succeed with using my partitions powered by ext4 file system with nodealloc option in fstab. It doesn't matter, if I add this option after defaults or replace defaults with nodealloc only. After reboot, all ext4 partitions (/ and /home) goes read-only, so I can't do anything with Arch, not even change fstab back. There are no problems, if I put other options to fstab (for example: relatime to ext3 file systems).
Anyone have same problem?
Last edited by weakhead (2009-04-20 19:32:30)

Whoa! That explains everything. I will try one more time.
EDIT: Yeah, this is it. It's nodelalloc, not nodealloc...
Thanks

PowerPoint Makes File Read-only After Saving

Hello all,
A couple of end users have encountered the above problem. They make changes to pptx files and after the file saves, the file becomes read only (says so on the program window). If they are not paying attention, then any other changes they make to the file
need to be saved to another file, which needless to say, is very annoying.
They have saved the file, file becomes read-only, then if they close the file and open it back up, it's fine; they can edit and save.
It happens sporadic. Could it be an autosave happening at the same time? Any others experiencing this?
Any help would be appreciated!
JB
