RE: Editing data

MODIFY SELECTION displays it in the Output form not the input.  I was
using MODIFY RECORD, which places the data in the input form. I give the
table read write access before MODIFY RECORD is called.

This depends on what commands you are using.

correct me if i am wrong but if you are using the command DISPLAY
SELECTION - then the input forms are set to read only

on the other hand if you use MODIFY SELECTION the input form is auto set
to READ WRITE


same applies for DISPLAY RECORD and MODIFY RECORD (i don't use these)


Its recommended to have all tables in read only at start up and
specifically set them to read write when editing data - i think this is
now the default for v11

doeas this help?
