Andy Freeston_Larter Locking an Opportunity after it becomes Closed
Hi,
I am trying to find a way to lock an Opportunity and all child objects once the Opportunity is closed. I can restrict access by putting conditions on the standard buttons (to show an error message, etc), but a malicious user could bypass these. Also this does not protect detail objects, such as those from a 3rd party vendor.
I would like to force the restrictions using access rights, perhaps by setting them in a trigger as the Opportunity becomes closed. Ideally all users except Administrators should be denied access once the Opportunity has become closed.
Is this possible?
Many thanks.

Thanks for the link Venkat.
The application itself isn't what I need but it does show that I can achieve my goals by using triggers. Something like this should do the trick:
trigger CheckOpportunityDeleteLock on Opportunity (before delete, before update) { // Perform a quick check to see if the current user and system need Opportunity locking if ( !MSO_CheckIfLocked.UserAndSystemRequireLocking() ) return; for ( Opportunity o : trigger.old ) { if ( o.isClosed ) { if ( Trigger.isUpdate ) trigger.newMap.get(o.Id).addError( 'ERROR: Cannot change an Opportunity after it has been closed.' ); else o.addError( 'ERROR: Cannot delete an Opportunity after it has been closed.' ); } } }
It's a shame the UI code in Record Lock requires S-Controls and can't (yet) be ported to Visualforce.
