The NOAPPEND and NOEDIT|NOMODIFY clauses of the BROWSE command have no
effect on programmatic editing commands such as APPEND BLANK or REPLACE.
RESOLUTION
When you are calling a BROWSE command programmatically in a situation where
adding a record may be desired but editing is not, issue the BROWSE command
with a WHEN clause that returns FALSE so that editing any new or existing
records is impossible. For example:
BROWSE NOAPPEND NOEDIT WHEN .F.
NOTE: Although this command will prevent interactive editing of the BROWSE,
remember that programmatic editing is still functional. The only way to
prevent programmatic editing is to open the database in a read-only format
(with the NOUPDATE clause).
