Edittables and NT (OpenInsight Specific)

I still can not edit the validation pattern for an edittable column when running NT.

Is someone going to fix this, or is this intended to be a feature?

Sorry to sound negative, but I did first report this in October '96 and several times since.

I'm aware of that problem - I've been working around it by setting the Valid property on create.

Jim,

This particular problem was pushed because there was a known work-around – I think it was something to do with the order that you take off the pattern. Unfortunately, since I don't use NT, I don't know the work-around, but I will try to find the information.

Jim,

Here's the workaround:

Just click ( don't have to make any changes) in the Default or Selected Column or any other control in the Edit table properties window before clicking the Edit button.

This somehow magically unlocks the pattern options for validation.

Seems like the patterns are locked if the focus is on the columns edit table before pressing Edit. If any other control on the screen has focus before pressing the Edit button, everything works OK.

Any, yes I agree, it's something that would be nice to see fixed sometimes soon.

Well that's an easy work around.

Thanks.
