i am running dbman with the external html template file mod installed... i am the webmaster for a christian college in kentucky... i am using dbman for our online application... i need to set this db up so that when a user fills out an application there are several fields that they don't see that can only be modified by an administrator... after the application is completed and this person returns to 'view' the completed application they can see the fields... for use as application status or whatever... any help would be greatly appreciated!

See this post I believe it has exactly what you are looking for in regards to the admin only field.

You may want to check out LoisC's FAQ (see any of her posts for the URL) and you may want to do some searching on this forum (pay close attention to the search parameters), that's how I found the above post.
