text box - tabbing issue
I have a bound text box on my form.
I want the information to display but I do not want the user to be able to change it. Enabled = No Locked = Yes Tab Stop = No These settings seem to do want I want except when I tab through the other text boxes on my form. If I tab past the locked text box, the information in the text box disappears. I know I am missing something, but I cannot figure out how to prevent this. Any assistance is appreciated!

I'm guessing that your text box would be the last control in the tab order, and your form's Cycle property is set to All Records, and AllowAdditions is Yes/True. So when you tab past this control, your form goes to a new blank record. If this is the case, you can correct it by either setting the form's Cycle property to "Current Record", or by setting the form's AllowAdditions property to No (so there will be no blank record to fill in. -- Dirk Goldgar, MS Access MVP www.datagnostics.com (please reply to the newsgroup)

text box - tabbing issue
Zoe,
Do you mean that the text control itself actually disappears, or the text control appears as "greyed out?" If Greyed out, try... Enabled = Yes Locked = Yes Tab Stop = No which will accomplish the same thing. (Skip field in tabbing, and no data change allowed) If disappearing, check that you may have some code like... YourControlName.Visible = False triggering somewhere down the line from the contol involved. Like an OnEnter event maybe? -- hth Al Campagna Microsoft Access MVP http://home.comcast.net/~cccsolutions/index.html "Find a job that you love... and you'll never work a day in your life."
