text box formatting

[Jen0dorf]

Hi



not sure how to phrase this but

I have a text box which is populated via a control source of

="WSM FHS " & [TempVars]![varPlace] & " Parish Records"

where the variable is drawn from a a table listing Parish names. This I have used on the 20 forms used in a parish. The idea is that I can just change the variable value when I change Parish and avoid changing every form!

It works perfectly and does exactly what I want.

However when I view the form if I click on the text box by accident it turns white and a curser appears although you cannot type into the box.

No doubt it is a setting in the field properties but I can't see it.

thanks

Ian

Try setting the textbox property LOCKED=Yes. You can do it from the property view data tab.

Also, the ENABLED property should be set to NO
