| If some users can adjust ALL picklists, then simply give them the Function Security to allow them access to Picklists. If only certain users can adjust certain Picklists, then it is more complicated. AFAIK, you cannot have some users directly change a particular Picklist and not others. The only way around it that I know is to use a PickListCombo instead of a Picklist. At runtime, make the PickListCombo either a Dropdown or a Dropdownlist depending on whether or not the user can edit the list. If they type in a value that is not in the underlying Picklist, add it at runtime. |

Thanks john for ur reply.But my requirement is not to adjust(Edit) items in the picklist.
When the user selects a picklist(at runtime),list of items in the picklist will be displayed with options to ADD,EDIT,DELETE the items in it.When the user clicks on ADD button,he/she can add a new item in the picklist.I want to restrict this for a particular user i.e he should not add items to he picklist.
Expecting reply from u.

Thanks Mike for ur reply.checking the "User cannot edit items" attributes will not edit the items. But my requirement is not to adjust(Edit) items in the picklist.

| Hi, that's actually incorrect. If the p/list has the User Cannot Edit Items then they cannot add to it either. In other words, the Add/Edit/Delete buttons are grayed out. Can you double-check this. Thanks! |

Even after checking the "User Cannot Edit Items" I could not disable(gray out) the ADD/EDIT/DELETE buttons.
Pls suggest me if u have any other way. |

OK, I think I know what's happening. It is most likely you have just switched on this option for this list *but* the list already has user items in it.
For example, the list contains:
X,Y,Z,B,C
The user has added A,D,E,F
Now, what SLX does is to enable the user to modify the ones they added (it knows that from their ID) but they cannot add/edit/delete the ones in the master list but they can Add/Edit/Delete their own e.g. A,D,E,F - if you happen to highlight X, Y, Z, B or C you will see those options gray out. When they highlight "theirs" the Add/Edit/Delete will grey out.
So, in context. Check with a picklist you've not worked on before (or create a new one) and then see how this works in practice.

| I was talking about using a PickListCombo, not a PickList. A PicklistCombo will not display the Add/Edit/Delete options for anyone. You make it a dropdownlist to stop users from typing in a value. Another option is to use a PickList, but to have 2 separate picklists available at runtime depending on the user. |
