Hi Chris,

Have you heard of the routine called SHADOW_DEO_FIELDS ?

See: http://support.dataaccess.com/Forums/showthread.php?53216-DD-Shadow_DEO_Fields&highlight=Shadow_DEO_Fields

It was written by someone on this newsgroup about 15 years ago and I had inserted the routine/pkg into my custom DD class about the same time.
And now, with the new WAF - I had to modify the code a bit so that it would work with both WinApps & WebApps and the new CJGrid, but the core idea behind it is still sound.

It does exactly what you want at the DD level, but manipulating the attached DEO directly.

FYI

This onl;y seems to do enabled_state, I need to be able to manipulate other DD options (that I can and do in the windows back office system)

I cannot do this via DD options in the web hence the DDs are not transparent to windows or webapps

PS

Hmm rethought it may be doable I will look atn thios in more detail but it still is not the optimum solution which is have the DataDicts behave the same in both environments
