making sure tick boxes are complete

[indigo]

hi..

i have a form (based on table)
in the form there are several actions that are required to be completed.
these are denoted by a tick box.
there are 2 tick boxes per action. one that shows that the action is
required and one that shows the action is complete.

on any give record, not all the tick boxes will be ticked.

there is a text box that the user inputs initials into on completion of the
ticked tasks.
is it possible to have the text box linked in such a way that
if they enter initials and not all of the desired tasks are comlete it will
show a message and not allow them to enter initials

thanks

I'd do an if statement to test the various checks and if they are not in the
proper state, I'd make that 'initial' field locked.

thanks..

whats the correct code to lock the text box?
unsure of how this looks in code

To lock a field you'd do..

[SomeFieldName].locked = True
