Disabling a Textbox (1 Viewer)

[sznsx]

Hello All !

I have a few textboxs that get their values calculated by a query. I believe Access automatically sets the textbox so that calculated values cannont be changed but I am still able click on the textbox and attempt to input values (I get beeping noises letting me know I cannot input). I have used the "disable" option but the turns the text to light and not comfortable to read. How can I disable the text box but retain the dark black text!

In the control properties there are 2 fields, Enabled and Locked.

Setting Locked = true is enough so that the user cant edit any data in that field.
Setting Enabled = false means that the user cannot set the focus into that box.

Set locked = true and enabled = false will give you the effect your looking for. Just note that this means they cannot interact with the text box in any way, it seems just like a label. (Just in case this isnt what you want)

Hope that helps
