Locking fields in table view of contacts

[Amy]

Hello!
I've created a custom contact form that is out in Public
Folders. On the form, I've disabled 5 fields from being
filled in our changed. Although, when someone is in a
table view such as by Category, you can add these locked
fields and edit them in the table view. But, I don't
want them to be able to edit these items regardless of
what view they pick. I know you can go into the view and
Lock all the fields from editing.

Is there a way I can restrict this?? Or where I can lock
down the fields from being edited in any view????

Thanks!

You could add code to your custom form that doesn't allow people to save changes unless they've opened the item -- set a global Boolean value in Item_OPen and cancel Item_Write if it's not set.
