Is there any way to make a tab visible in the application, but it is not selectable

I have two tabs, "list" and "detail". I would firstly select a value in my first tab "list", then I can see the details in the "detail" for my selected value. As I do not select a value, tab "detail" is visible but can be selected

Hi,

You can hide all sheets and set a button that is visible only when the user has made any selection in the field you want. This button then activates the sheet. If you set one sheet as visible, it's always selectable, otherwise, it wouldn't make much sense.

But if, from the user point of view you want to let them know that there is a detail view, but before getting that they have to select some values, it may be as simple as set a calculation condition like

GetFieldSelections(FieldName) > 0

And set the error mesage for Calculation Condition unfulfilled to "Please select one value in FieldName" or similar.

Hope this helps.

Go to "Detail" sheet properties and enable "Read Only" option in Security tab.

Hello,

That won't avoid the user to select the tab, but to make any selections to the objects in that sheet.

Regards.
