Hi,

1. The normal table maintenance

will not allow such thing.

2. Moreover its not recommended !

3. Its always better to delete the old row and insert new one.

Kind Regards,

Gopal

Hello

No you cannot do this because "editing" key fields means

- DELETE existing record and

- INSERT new record

It is - by no means - an UPDATE of existing records.

Hi,

Key fields get input disabled when you put some value in them and and do some event.

But why you require it editable.

Because key fields constitute one unique record.

If do some mistake while creating record just delete that record.
