After manually updating the contents of a box, you may want to lock the contents of that box so that it is not updated during a data refresh. This is useful if you maintain data in one or more boxes that is not in your underlying data source.
Note: If you have defined multi-record boxes, the Refresh process will preserve the formatting of those boxes and apply that formatting to any new multi-record boxes created by data refresh.
To lock/unlock the contents of a box during data refresh:
1 Select the boxes that you want to lock or unlock.
2
Click the Box Layout tool or select Box
Properties from the Format menu.
The Box Properties dialog box is
displayed.
3 Click the Advanced tab.
4 Check or uncheck the Lock contents during data refresh checkbox.
5 Click OK.
