Bharathwaj,

 

as long as you do not specifiy 'with sharing' attribute for your class, there shouldn't be any problem 

 

 

Further Details can be found in the Apex Docu under Data Access Control

Sebastian,

 

i am able to update those fields as an administrator but a profile which has that field hidden is not getting updated.

am not using the keyword 'with sharing' in my code.

i was sure about it because when i make the field visible the output is there and when the field was invisible the output was not there.

 

Please help

 

Thanks,

Bharath

Are you using a custom controller? or standard controller extension?

At that time, there wasn't "with sharing" key word, but a custom controller runs as administrator and extension runs as the user's profile (I thought, now, "with sharing" key word works in the same way).

Thomas,

 

i am currently using a standard save button only to save the record.

in the trigger also am using only before insert as condition.
