When the enabled property of a textbox is set to yes how can I stop it been grayed out
I want the textbox to remain the same as a normal textbox.
I have developed a touchscreen program and I do not want the user to enter the textbox. Usinf the |Lock property will not work.

If the both the field's Enabled property AND Locked property are set to "Yes", the field should display as normal, but will not allow the user to make any changes in it. If you want to prevent the user from tabbing into the field, set the "Tab Stop" property to "No". If you want to prevent the user from entering the field via a mouse click, create an event procedure in the On Enter event of the field, and insert code to set the focus to another field - perhaps to the field that would be next in the tab order (if this field were a tab stop field). The code will look something like this:

Me![myFieldName].SetFocus

HTH...
