I have a form with a database item on it . We are setting the item type as "List Item". The list item has values 'A', 'B','C', 'X' with the list element values for each of them. I want all users to insert/update the values of 'A','B' and 'C' but only few users should be able to insert/update all the 4 values.i.e Few users cannot insert/update the value of 'X' but everyone should be able to see the value of 'X'. How can this be done.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi. Pls try this. Make a copy of the form. In 1 form give all the 4 values in the list. In another give only 3 values that need to be used. Based on the user profile give access to the program.
All the best

Thank you for your reply.
Looks like changing user profiles and having 2 different forms will make it a little difficult to handle but i will find someother way to do it.

Hi Nilu,
You dont need to duplicate forms. Im not sure if I interpret your problem correctly but here's a few options.
1) You can perhaps create two list elements A and B. Depending on the users that should see list A, hide list B and vice versa, when the form/block/item is first entered. With this option, the two lists must be non-db items and when list changed, assign the value to the appropriate db item.
2) Use the ADD_LIST_ELEMENTS built-in to add the extra items.
3) Show all 4 elements and use the WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM to clear the field if the user is not allowed to pick the chosen element ... displaying an appriopriate message off course.
Good Luck
