    Field that cannot be selected

    I have a field on my form of which I'm setting the value programmaticall y. I
    don't want the users to be able to setfocus to the field. I've set the
    tabstop property to false. However, the user is still able to click in the
    field and then it gets focus. How can I prevent the user from selecting the
    field?
    thanks,
    john

      To make it visible, that it isn't selectable, set it's enabled
      property to false. To make it appear "ordinary", but not selectable,
      also play with it's locked property (True).

          I thought the enabled property would block the field from getting updated by
          vb code, but it doesn't. Now it works. Thanks.
