Additional Information

The IFieldEdit.IsEditable property is used to define fields that are only editable by the geodatabase and ArcGIS applications.

Workaround

Using the IFieldInfo3.Readonly Property for the same works as expected:Public Sub UsingFieldInfo() Dim pMap As IMap Dim pMxDoc As IMxDocument Set pMxDoc = ThisDocument Set pMap = pMxDoc.FocusMap Dim pFlayer As IFeatureLayer Set pFlayer = pMap.Layer(0) Dim pLayerfields As ILayerFields Set pLayerfields = pFlayer Dim pFieldInfo3 As IFieldInfo3 Set pFieldInfo3 = pLayerfields.FieldInfo(5) pFieldInfo3.Readonly = FalseEnd Sub
