which is the user's preference. You don't get to override the user's selection of an editing gesture. There are several ways to put a document into edit mode, including by writing a toolbar button formula, so it's not a a good idea to try to block each mechanism individually.
Whatever your Modify button is doing, you're doing it in the wrong place. If something has to happen whenever you start to edit a document, you have to put that code into a form event that automatically executes whenever someone starts to edit a document -- the (PostModeChange and Postopen) or (Querymodechange and Queryopen) events.
You have to trap the Open events also because if someone opens a document from a view with Ctrl-E, it opens in edit mode originally, so there is no mode change. To avoid code duplication, write a subroutine to call from the two events.
That said, I also don't understand how this will help you with your problem. You say:
They have all editor rights in the ACL. I'd like to force them to use the "modify" button, in order to set the editor rights more precisely.
So somehow, having the Modify button means the users don't have to have as much access as they would otherwise? You can make them Authors instead? I don't get what you're doing here.
