acCmdZoomBox question

[garyholc]

Is there any way to set the

docmd.runcommand acCmdZoomBox

so that when the expanded text window appears it is read only? Just I have a memo field on a form I want people to be able to click on and read everything in it, but not edit it.....

You may need to create your own custom zoom screen with locked set to true for the text control.

they may not be able to edit it

i didnt realize you could use the zoom box / (or shift-F2)

when i tried it on a locked field, i found i could edit the popup

-BUT it didnt save any changes

so they MAY NOT be able to edit the data - try it and see

Yeah i found the same. I locked the field so when they clicked in it, the zoom box appeared and they could do what they wanted in the zoom box, but when it was closed, none of the changes had been saved in the field
