label font change on disableing a field, how do i change it back?

[Jason Dundas]

I am creating a form and I have some fields I don't want people being able to change so I selected to disable them in the datasheet but now the labels have a strange double text, it looks different than all the other labels and is driving me nuts. when I enable it the font on the label goes back to what the others are but once I change it to disabled it goes funky again. how do I fix this? I have been trying for hours to fix this but its probably something easy and im just having a blond moment.

I can not image what you mean, so can you post a printscreen, (zip it because you haven't post 10 post yet).
Do you recognize the same problem in other forms or in other databases?
Did you try a "Compact & Repair"?
Or create a new database and import all from the problem database into the new one!

Okay I will take a couple screenshots and post them

Here are the screenshots

This is when the item number field is enabled



This it with the item number disabled



See the weird double font on the label when it's disabled. This form is built by a query and the item number is the primary key for this example but the same thing happens to all fields if I disable them in this form. I have a couple other forms built but they don't have this issue. I tried testing this by making some new forms with some random tables and it does this on some but not others. I have tried deleting it and reapplying it but it doesn't change. Any idea why this is happening?

it turn the font gray.
Try also set it to be locked. it should put it to normal color again.

You can unlink the label from the combo. This will only change the combo.
I normally unlink them as I don't like the combo to be open when someone click the label.
