Hi Jacky,

You can make a property of a step uneditable by changing the property flags for the step.  First, you want to be able to view the hidden properties so that you can change the flags for these properties as well.  You do this by going to Configure>>Station Options and selecting the Preferences tab.  Check the box for Show Hidden Properties.  Once you have done this you can select the step type from the types palette.  In the window to the left, you can expand the tree for the type to see all the properties of that step.  Right click on the property that you do not want users to be able to edit, select Properties.  Then click the Advanced button.  Here you will see a list of the setable flags.  Check the box for PropFlag_NonEditable.  You can then do this for all the properties of the step that you do not want users to edit.
Thanks,
