Hi Sushil,

For these situation I create a varaible which I use to show the objects.
For example: Make a button with an action that set vShow = 1
Now use this varaible in the conditional show option in the layout tab.

Hello Sushil,

I would create one or two buttons with "select / deselect" and implementing the "lock field" and(or) "unlock field"-action.

Hi Roland,

That is a nice solution too, but that doesn't work when you have no selections in that field, or does it?

Isn't there an action that can make an object set to Read-only?

Hi Dennis,

yes, but you are right, if no selection is done, there is nothing to lock. So my answer is max. second best. There is unfortunaltly no such an action so the only workaround left is coding a macro, similar to this I found in the forum:
