Field-by-Field enablement/disablement

[Pickering, John (NORBORD)]

I was going to suggest ...

 

All of the labels and titles could be display fields with variable
highlighting. 

 

but David beat me to it :-)

Dear PH Listers:

 

I have a challenge that I am going to poll the group for. I have a
series of screens with fields that I wish to permit access to - or not -
based on Application Security Class (ASC).

 

In and of itself that is no problem - a matchuser "X" in an input or
edit procedure. What the management wants is for the screen to be able
to "hilight" the fields that a User can access/change based on this ASC.
I've tried the obvious "hilite if..." on FIELD statements, but all that
does is highlight the data field itself. I want to be able to highlight
the ID and./or LABEL of the field(s) in question. So that it's quite
obvious to the User what he or she can, or cannot, change.

 

Aside from maintaining two (or more) separate screen source modules, I
am stumped.

Does anybody have any ideas I could possibly entertain?

 

Thanks in advance....
