force submit on a read-only field

Hi,

I have been troubleshooting an issue and found this article to be helpful.

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/arpita/archive/2012/02/19/microsoft-dynamics-crm-2011-force-submit-on-a-disabled-field-or-read-only-field.aspx

My problem is, this issue is not happening to all the users but a single person. So I am confused and need your help in troubleshooting.

On form load I have a script which autopopulates the current user's county based on the user's id.

It runs only for the new forms and not for the existing records. Everything was working fine except for a user whose records have county field with null values. For some reason the county does not get saved into the database.

And yes, the county field is a read-only field. As the above article says, we need to force the submit. Why do you think it works for other users and not for this particular user?

Someone please help me. Thanks in advance.
