Form Modification: Hide the PM Transaction Entry Post Button

Normally, I'd take a different approach than the one that I ended up using. For most buttons, I'd just go into Modifier and drag them off the form. That didn't work with this button... I'm guessing because it is in the graphical menu and is re-created at run time. 

What ended up working was setting the visible property to false. To be clear, that would not be my first approach because often the code behind the form shows and hides buttons and that would override my change. 

But... it seems to work here. 

Step by step:

From the form, click on TOOLS > CUSTOMIZE > MODIFY THIS FORM. If that option is not enabled, you'll need to enable the customization site enabler option in the Registration form. If it's not there or can't be checked, you'll have to speak to your VAR, there is an extra fee for it. 

 

Once in Modifier, click on the button and set its visible property to false

NOTE *** when you do this next step, you'll be setting security to a modified form that only exists on your machine. The other users will get an error when they open the form after you set security. 

 

 

Return to Dynamics, and set security to the form in the Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports window

 

 

And that should be it. Please leave me a comment below. 

This is a form modification, no VBA is involved. You'll need to get the FORMS.DIC file published to all your clients or they'll get an error when they go to open the form.
