I want to 'lock' - not allow modifying - a few fields in my database. I know I can hide them, but I need to show them, so I was wondering if there is another way of locking fields??

Thanks

On the html_record_form you could change the fields so that they aren't forms. By this I mean you could delete the INPUT tag, add a INPUT TYPE=hidden tag for you information, and then to display is just print out $rec{'<B>FIELDNAME</B>'}. However, this form is also used for adding a new record. So, you may want to create a new sub call html_record_modify_form that contains the same text as html_record_form. Then change the html_record_form in html_modify_form_record to the new html_record_modify_form.

Thanks!! I tried removing the input, but then it deleted data. Having the hidden input tag there too solved the problem. Thanks for your help!

No problem. Sorry that my post wasn't more specific but I didn't have much time to type it.
