Using the example of a table with name and salary fields (1) Remove the Field Level Access Rights on Salary for a_user (2) create an application with a grid and a dbEdit set the user to a_user and dbEdit to field salary. You cannot see the salary in the grid and If you try and change the salary field in the grid nothing happens. If you change the salary field in the dbEdit an exception occurs which you cannot get out of. Can you fully disconnect the protected fields so that if they are changed, the change is ignored as with the grid and no exception occurs?
