how to make a string appear in a textbox from a click of an image in ms access

[metokushika]

i'm making A point of sale system using ms access. i have a little knowledge about vb programming. i have a set of images which serves as my products. the frame next to it has the item description, the amount and unit price. what i want to do is that once i click on the image, i want the item description to appear on the textbox, on the frame next to it, under "item description" which makes it look like as a receipt. i've done it already but i want the textbox to be enabled=false except that when i try doing it, a pop up message says it will not work unless the setfocus is on it. so what i did is under the properties, i set the "lock" to yes. meaning it will be locked and you can't edit what's in the text box BUT the pop up message still appears. same as the message i've mentioned. any help will do! thanks

Without seeing your code, I can only guess that you're using the .Text property of the control, which requires focus. If so, use the .Value property instead.
