Hello all

I am hoping someone can help... I need some fields / tabs on my forms to be enabled = False - which as you will know in turn makes the appearance 'greyed out'. I have had complaints that this makes the text difficult to read (even though my text is a dark colour (8388608). Does anyone know of a 'way round' changing the back colour of a disabled field / control?
Apparently it can be done (so says a mentor of mine), although he has not yet told me how....??
I have tried using the Locked property instead as to keep the appearance that I want however this causes problems with a lot of my controls which run off queries. The locked property does not seem an option.

Many Thanks in anticipation...
