I need the rows sorted in order to find rows I need to edit. I guess that by design, somebody cannot change data in a query form. Since I need to find and edit, I have tried to unlock the form with, using various tools such as Edit, unlock, the data edit button ect. The form just ignores them or generates errors. > > The form always generates "rowset is read only". > > How can I unlock the edit query generated form, and still have it sorted? > > Any help would be appreciated. Check the requestlive property it should be true. Second most important when we use "order by" in sql at times it makes the query readonly when there are multiple columns involved. I can suggest two alternatives and I am afraid none of them is coding friendly. Option one Add another rowset of the same table but this time without any order by clause. In search and navigation retain the old rowset but in datalinking change to new rowset. Use the onNavigate event of the first rowset to navigate the new rowset as desired to the same row. This option requires less but fine tuned coding. Option Two Remove the datalinking. Use the onNavigate event to populate the fields and then sql to save the rows. A lot of work is required as each field value has to be checked for modifications before allowing to move to next row. Since no datalinking is there hence autosave etc are all disabled. There may be easier alternatives also but I am unable to recall any. And if there is no primary key column in your table then it will be hell. Regards Akshat | |
