Hi All,

Please help!

I have never used this feature. Can you tell me where it is so I can try & replicate your problem?
you can use a vba code where you use the control
Me.TextBox.Locked = true <-- to lock
Me.Textbox.locked = False <-- to unlock
on the properties form control it is under the tab "Data" under the word enable
Would deleting the Text Box and then putting a new one on the Form with the same [or diffenent] name be an option?
I had a couple of experiences - not with TextBoxes, but with Output File#s once and with a Query once - when something I did during the testing process corrupted or locked [not sure what exactly Access DID but I was not able to use the objects] and the way I was able to resolve the situation was by re-creating the Query . . . and in the case of the OutputFile# [I was doing File I/O stuff] I just used a different File# (I think I was running the procedure without Error handling and the procedure had to be terminated without closing the File# . . .].
What was the purpose of locking the TextBox?
As opposed to . . . perhaps setting the Enabled Property to False . . . ?
Purpose: the textbox is locked when a particular form is opened while another form is open. This particular form transfer information to the other form... hope that makes sense
other words.. when form a is open form b gets information directly from form b.
the textboxes should not be locked when opening form by itself. I will try what you said.. thanks
Robeen.. making another textbox worked. I have NOOOO Idea why access was doing that.. and I spent 4 hours on it
Thanks!
I figured out the why.
Within the input mask I placed: > ... access didn't like that.
I wanted > in place for capitalization
Glad it worked out! All the best!
