Can someone please tell me how to enable\disable a field on a form.
Subject: Enable form field
I think you need to be more specific- if a field is on the form, it is “enabled” and there is no way to disable it w/ out deleting it (or, I guess hiding it) Your Subject line makes me wonder if you are playing w/ a field called “Form” which can have many unintended side effects as “Form” is an internal Notes field.

Most types of fields have an “input enabled” formula (near the input validation formula) that lets you write a formula returning True or False whether the field should be editable at that moment. Is that what you want?
If not, please provide more details (see link below).

But unfortunately the field HAS to be displayed in OS style for “input enabled” to work in 6.5.

Unlike VB or the like, you can’t disable a field in Notes. The best way to do it is to have a field and a computed text for the same item and use hide-when formulas to show the computed text when it should be disabled and the field when it’s enabled.
