We are using PC Docs (Hummingbird DOCS Open 3.9).

When users create a profile, they secure it so that only some users
can edit the profile, but others can view it.

Trouble is, when users view the profile, if they don't have Edit
Profile rights all the multi-line text boxes are disabled. They can't
scroll down to see what's below the first few lines that are visible.

Does anyone know how to change this behaviour?

I tried giving them all Edit Profile rights then using a trigger on
the SQL Server Profile table to prevent updates by unauthorised users.
But that was a dead end, as all updates are actually done by
DOCS_USER. Also, doing a Rollback Transaction in the trigger cancels
a wider transaction called DOCS_BATCH which could be doing more than
updating the Profile table.

Any ideas?
