If you need to control the user from updating a field, you can simply enable the option "Read Only" in [Fields] -> [Edit Page].

Hi

That is a solution, but I wanted to use that option for using Server Events to control by the user level the possibility of editing or not.

Thank you

Before you disable programmatically that field in the "Page_Render" server event, then you have to get the value of that field, and hold it into a session variable from "Page_Render" server event.
Assign that session variable value back into that field before saving to database by using "Row_Updating" server event. This will avoid the value erased in the database.

Sure, just try it by your hand first, and post your code for more discussion.
