disable control in request form

jam176

is there any possibility to en-/disable a checkbox in a request form of a report using the OnInit trigger? the checkbox should only be enabled if one specific user is logged in.

yes, there is a way to do this!

step 1:
the control needs a name

step 2:
write the following code in the trigger OnOpenForm (not OnInit) of the request form:

IF USERID = [Your specific UserId] THEN
  RequestOptionsForm.[your Controlname].ENABLED(FALSE);

that's all

but wouldn't it be better to use the property "VISIBLE" instead of "ENABLED"? that way no other user would ask himself what he has to do to select this field
