Prevent Data Edited But Allow Scroll Bar

jwshelton22 Feb 13, 2014 7:35 AM

Title

Post

We have about 50 fields that offer user instructions. I want to prevent the user from having the ability to edit the field's content, but they still need the scroll bar to function.

Fields are now Text fields. My thought was to make a second field that is a calc of the first field.

Is there a better method?

All Users have same privilege set.

thanks

If the layout will be viewed via FileMaker Pro, this is your only option.

If the layout will be viewed with FM GO, this doesn't work very well, but there's an alternative using a Popover that can be used instead (but isn't an option for FM Pro users.)
