I've created a form with the Form Wizard. This Form has 7 fields in it, one above the other. I've adjusted the properties of this form so nothing can be deleted/added/edited in any of the fields. So I open the form and use the record navigation buttons on the bottom of the screen to view each record. That's it, that's all it's supposed to do.
The oddity is that the first field has a couple arrows on the end of it (one pointing up, the other pointing down). When clicked, these arrows do nothing. That's fine with me because I don't want them to do anything. If I click on another field, the arrows vanish from the first field and appear in the one I clicked on. However they still do nothing when clicked (again, that's fine).
My question is how do I get rid of them? I've turned on/off various things in the forms property sheet with no effect. Right now they just act like a "click me magnet", which is causing peeps to call me and say the form is broken (when it isn't). Can I remove these arrows so they don't appear on my form? Or hide them?
Thanks for your time and help
ADDED: I found this...
If I click on a field while the form is in design view, then click on the property sheet, then the data tab, there is an entry called "enabled". The "hint" for this yes/no-only setting is "Enable control in form view?". The default setting is yes. If I change it to no, the little arrows vanish, which is great! BUT the entire field gets grayed-out. Can I disable control in form view without graying out the entire field?
