Make drop-down field read only in report

How do I make a drop-down combo box read only or uneditable in a report? I
don't see a readOnly property and I don't think disabled is the right one.

Um, everything is read only in a report. If you meant to say "form" then
you can use a combination of Enabled and Locked.

Enabled = No + Locked = No
Will produce a read only control that is grayed out and cannot receive
focus.

Enabled = Yes + Locked = Yes
Will produce a read only control that is not grayed out and which can
receive focus.

Enabled = No + Locked = Yes
Will produce a normal looking control that is both read only and unable to
receive focus.

Sorry haha,

I meant to say Data Access Page. In the DAP I don't see an enabled or
locked field.

Thanks,
Matt
