Hi

There is not declarative way to do it, though I think that can be done using javascript (e.g. on the onLoad event, disable all fields in the tabular form except if they are in a new row).

However, I don't think this solution looks good (all fields grayed out), I think it is more elegant and easier to maintain to use a separate page to add new records. So you use the tabular form only to query and delete rows.

Not exactly what you asked for, but just a suggestion... I hope it helps.

Just an observation from looking at this...it looks like it might not be too big a leap to select only text in the first part of the report then in the select from dual portion use actual fields. Would this actually break the tabular form if in the static part of the query (what runs before add row is requested) were standard report columns or is there an APEX functional requirement that all fields in the report must actually be apex_item fields?

ok. I just noticed in the example most of the report was all just disabled fields. I had thought from looking at it that all of your database results were in updateable fields just disabled. I will look at it closer though and see.
