    Unwanted clickable objects


    I am using the switchboard and of course we know that when you attach a new item to it, it creates a single button with a label on the form for each item. I have no problem with this as I have learn to not make other buttons for the other items, it creates them from the one when it goes into form view. The problem is that the label is clickable in form view and taking me to the item that button is supposed to, the button works properly by the way. But I don't want anyone accessing the switchboard item via the label, only the button. Any ideas how to not have that clickable?

    Are you talking about the description textbox, to the right of the button?

    Just disable it, if that is the case?

    Yes exactly, sorry if I called it the wrong thing. So, if I delete it and create my own, every time I go into the form it errors out, seems it does it with anything I delete from the original form. Which is OK as I have learned to work around it. So I will actually use the description textbox. Is there a way to "disable" vs "delete"?

    No, you do not delete it, just set Enabled to No in it's properties on the Data tab of the control.
    I can see it is actually called OptionLabel1 (Well done Microsoft ), but it is a textbox after all.
