This may not be the correct forum, but I'm hoping someone can shed some light on the reasoning behind this. A viewer was able to insert 2 columns with formulas and color coding - the JET report maintained the formatting even though she isn't a designer. The report runs perfectly fine. I was under the impression that you had to be in design mode to make any changes to a JET report. The formula isn't a JET argument it's simply taking a particular cell and getting a percentage. Any insight would be helpful. Just makes me a little nervous that a viewer can alter the integrity of a report.

Jet Reports Historic Posts Hello Dean,
Recent versions of Jet Essentials prevents a Viewer from being able to edit or perform design functions such as entering Jet functions in a report.
If any such attempt is made, the Viewer user is presented with an error as shown in the attached file.
Please see Knowledge Base article:
"You are not licensed to Design Reports…"

What version of Jet Essentials does the Viewer user have installed on his/her machine?
It would make sense to lock the report to prevent a Viewer from being able to take any direct actions in the report by using +Lock keyword in cell A1 of the report.
You create a locked worksheet by entering "Auto+Hide+Values+Lock"
Additional information on this can be found in the Jet Reports Knowledge Base

Jet Reports Historic Posts Hello Dean,
Quick correction to my last response.
Adding "Auto+Hide+Lock" in cell A1 is all that is needed to create a locked worksheet as indicated in the KB article http://kb.jetreports.com/article/AA-00505
Best regards,
Cynthia
