Allowing or preventing entry into fields

in the
layout bar, then click the
Data 
tab.
3. In the Behavior area, for Field entry, select options.
Notes
•Preventing entry into a field only affects the field object on that layout. To always restrict access to a field on any layout of the database, define a privilege set to permit “view only” field access for that field. See
Protecting databases.
•When you prevent entry into a field in Browse mode, it’s no longer possible to copy data in that field to the Clipboard. If you want to prevent a field from being changed and still permit Clipboard copying, define the field to enter an auto-entered value and select
Prohibit modification of value. See
Defining automatic data entry.
