Remarks

The Editable property of a field should always be set to TRUE.  Setting it to FALSE will prevent all users from editing the contents of the field.  To set a field to be read-only, use the IFieldInfo3.ReadOnly property.

It is best to loop through the fields of a feature and skip the fields that are not editable, rather than allowing users to attempt to edit fields that cannot be edited.
