ppDesigner: Disabling Save Option - Enabling Save As only

rbuser

I am implementing security into my end user reporting solution.
I have a number of "system reports" which the I would like the user to be
able to view but not able to change (or save changes) but force them to only
"Save As" to another report name. Probably for the Calc and Design tabs.

Is there anyway I can achieve this?

If the solution involves disabling menu options then how do I also disable
the short-cut key CTRL-S?

Further to this I had viewed the sample demo ReportExplorerWithReadOnly
which shows me how to set an extended ReadOnly field in the database. But I
could't get this demo working with D5 & RB7.02. Seems the demo is for RBv4?

How do you actually get the ReadOnly flag to implement a ReadOnly end user
report?

You can hide the Save menus as shown in this example:

ReadOnly is mainly implemented in the replacement report explorer form
supplied in the example. There is a description at the top of the
TmyReportExplorerForm class which describes the changes that are made to get
this working.
