Disabling fields in a continous forms

[Guest]

Hello,

I have a continous sub form on a page. I want to have it so that when a
certain value is picked on a combobox field that the other fields are
disabled. Is there any way to have that particular record have its field
disabled and have all the other records on the continuous form still be
active?

Thanks!

No, it's not.

I certainly have a lot of continues forms where I set the controls 'enabled'
property on/off. While this actually makes all instances of the control go
disabled, I actually find this works quite well. I mean, when you move
to the next row, those columns that you enable, or disable can then
be set. So, you could set the controls visible property as you move
the cursor up/down through the

In fact, I actually PREFER the above behavior, as then during
data entry it is VERY easy to see that the column in question
is enabled.

In place of a VERY HARD TO READ checkerboard pattern of enabled, and
disabled boxes,
, you get a very nice enable/display view as I move the cursor up /down.

I have uploaded a gif animation of me navigating in a form, both of the two
screen shots will give you an idea of how this looks.
