How to Disable a Mandatory Field???
Author: Al Goyette    Posted: Wed, 29 Mar 2006 16:35:00 -0800
In Ref Mgr 11, how does one Disable a "Mandatory Field" so that nothing needs to be entered in that field? Thanks, Al ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- Yahoo! Messenger with Voice. PC-to-Phone calls for ridiculously low rates.

Be sure to have Read-Write Exclusive rights to the RM11 database. Select Tools-->Field and Type Edit. In the top-right box select the reference type you want to edit. Then go to the Field Label Edit box and remove the check mark in the M (=mandatory) column correspondng to the field you wish to edit.

Not difficult Open the database in read-write exclusive mode Then pick Field and type edit from the tools menu. This gives you the option of choosing which fields are mandatory for each reference type.

Al, Open your database with the Read-Write Exclusive access right In the Tools menu, go to Field and Type Edit In that window you will be able to select for each Reference Type the fields that are mandatory or not. You can apply those selections to the database open or set it as default.

Al, Further to replies that you have received you will need to open the database in Read-Write Exclusive to access the relevant options.
