color of enabled = false (text and labels) should not be gray 1

[rust]

Hi All,
ACCESS 2000 Forms.
I need to set enabled on and off on a form but it ends up with a hard to read gray background with gray text.
I would like some other color scheme.

WhatToDo,

Thanks

Instead of setting enabled to on and off

set locked to on and off to allow you to still change the backcolor and fore color

Locked will allow the user to enter the field but not make any changes and will not give you the enabled off effect of a grayed background and text

Thanks,
what threw me off was I had some combo boxes and text masks and when I entered the fields "stuff" happened - however the value can't be changed and its better than gray on gray so I'll use it.

Hi!

To avoid that the user can tab or click in to the control, use both properties (Enabled = False and Locked = True).
