Hi Access gurus,
Is there any way to make the value shown in a text box uneditable? It
contains an important ID number that the user should not be able to change.
I know, one solution is not even to show it, but surely you can think of
good reasons why the user should see a field, yet be unable to change it.
In other words, I am trying to create a read-only text box in a form in
which other bound text boxes are editable. Is this possible?
 
in the form Design View, select the text box. in the
Properties box, set the value of the Locked property to
Yes.
