I see that this topic has been discussed before. I would just like to make sure that there is no answer to the problem.
The problem as Nicole summarized to another post:
"...changing field type works (update/insert mode), but in case of error message (any field validation), field is changed to label again, and it's content is deleted. In effect, user cannot complete the form."
I just want to verify that we can change a field type in a Before Show event but that event does not occur if form validation returns an error. And as a result I will need to rely on JavaScript validation.
If anyone has a work around, of if I am just way off base, I would apprecitate the feedback.
Thanks,
Kyle

Kyle,
First of all, these was not my words, but Tomasz'.
Of course, I agree with him. But the workaround exists.
It happens (label fields becomes label) because Before Show event code is executed if s<form_name>Err variable is empty. If it contains error messages, it is not empty, thus Before Show just do not executes.
The workaround is to put this code not into before show even but into Before Show Insert, Before Show Delete and Before Show Update events.
