Try to add the check for your conditions in the canEdit event and return false or true as needed with an IF/ENDIF block function query1_canEdit local bEdit bEdit=true if form.rowset.fields["status"].value.tolowercase()<>completed"     bEdit=false     msgbox("Cannot edit this fields as the status is not completed") endif return bEdit -- Gaetano.
