I have a form that has several fields that a user will enter data. When finished, the data is inserted into a table. Works great. What I want to do now is look at one of the fields entered and if it is equal to a certain value, I want to disable one of the other text boxes (fields) on the form AND pop a screen that will allow the user to enter a list of names that will update a different table.

So, if user inputs a directory name GENERIC, the txtScriptName box needs to be disabled/greyed-out and I need a form to pop so the user can put in a list of script names. If any other directory name is entered, the txtScriptName box needs to remain editable. (For directories equal to GENERIC, there will be multiple script names instead of just one)

I've been successful at getting the form to pop if GENERIC is entered but can't figure out how to grey-out the txtScriptName field. I tried using Me.txtScriptName Locked in the Before Update of the preceding field but it didn't work - could still update the txtScriptName field.

Any other sugestions?

Thanks!
Mary
