In a Gold site, I disabled links like the change status link, or the delete/edit order item buttons.

There is a Save method in the repository class. You can try to add the prevent logic in that method and abort the final save process.
CommerceBuilder\Orders\OrderRepository.cs



You can try using this method to roll back the SQL changes.

Hope this helps!

Just to give you an idea what it would look like in Object Pascal by tapping into Before a Table Edit Event. - Six lines of code

If database.FieldByName("cf_OrderLock").Value = 1
then
begin
MessageDlg,info("This Order is LOCKED, please see your supervisor.");
Abort;
end;

The above is self-explanatory, it just shows and demonstrates what I'm trying to accomplish.

Again many thanks for anyone who can help.

Thanks Judy,

We are looking at many options to try to get this done, the lack of events, especially those that tie directly to a table is making it a little bit more complicated than it needs to be.

The good news is, in order to manipulate any change in an order, you need to click something first. In the order view only, not including the line items, they are 21 different areas were someone can click to manipulated an order.

Right now I'm trying to acquire as much information as possible, to discuss this with a developer to see which is the best way to proceed. Another way would be to capture this with a trigger at the table level, but that could create havoc in the admin section.

I wish that Able's documentation was more up-to-date, especially with the MVC stuff, everything pretty much just reference Gold and even that lacks detail.

Still waiting on support to see what they would advise, a before edit method in the repository class would be ideal.

Your feedback is highly appreciated,
-Ray
