    Locking subform field

    I have a subform that that displays in the datagrid. It's for contact notes. I want to show the NOTE column and the TIMESTAMP column but I don't want the user to be able to edit the TIMESTAMP. I cannot seem to lock that column? I could swear I was able to do that before.


    Anyone know know how I could do this?

    Setting the locked property of the textbox should work.

    There is no textbox. It's a subform as a datasheet. Just two columns. One for the actual contact's notes and the other for the timestamp.

    Not at all. It's a data table. In Design mode it's just a box. in Layout Mode it's a data table.
