How to use locks

I need to lock a record. This works great!

But, that record is also shown in a portal and the fact that the record is locked doesn’t say it can’t be looked into.

But, when the record is locked I can’t select it from the portal. How can I overcome this?

You mean that you want to select the text (and copy it or something)

Will see if we can do that for textfields.. (other fields have to be disabled but maybe textfields can be noneditable)

Johan, you are getting close, but what I would really like is the following:

When you look at my solution there are some portals in the first screen. When I want to select a record through the portal row and open a form with the content of the record I can’t do that because the record is locked…

So what I really want is to be able to open the form with the content although the content can’t be edited.

Clear enough?

You want to press a button on that portal??

yes, and open a form with the record/data on it that has been locked by somebody else…
