To make a report read-only

1. On the File menu, select Report Options.
2. Select Read-only.

To make a section or area read-only

1. On the Report menu, select Section Expert.
2. Select the section or area that you want to make read-only.
3. On the Common tab, select Read-only.

   Note:    When a section is read-only, you can move it, cut it, and delete it, but you cannot make changes within the section. When an area is read-only, all sections in the area are read-only; therefore, you cannot insert another section, nor can you move, cut, or delete an existing section.

To make an object read-only

1. Right-click the object you want to make read-only.
2. On the shortcut menu, click Format Field.

   The Format Editor dialog box appears.

3. On the Common tab, select Read-only.

Unfortunately, AntDC gave all the options available. CR doesn't have the capability you are looking for built into the application.

I suppose you could create a service application to constantly keep a look out for that options window and close it when ever it appears.

That is dirty though :)
