Display of Disabled Controls

[Kevin Sprinkel]

I'd like to display the job number, name, and client in
the form header of a multi-tab form, as a convenient
consistent reference. These controls are set in enabled
controls on the form, therefore, I'd like to disable the
ones in the header.

Is there any control over the display of disabled
controls? If not, does anyone see any negatives to
leaving them enabled?

I do this a lot - I set the .Locked property = Yes and .TabStop = No

If you're just looking to set and display data, use labels in the header and keep changing the .Caption properties

Hope this helps
