    Text Box Question

    I want to set a text box so that the user cannot select it.
    If I set the "enabled" property to "false" this has the desired effect but
    the text is greyed out and not to easy to read.
    Is there another way to stop the user selecting the box without greying out
    the text or a way to change the font when using the enabled property?

    TIA

    Perhaps setting the LOCKED property to TRUE will work for you.
    This will prevent the user from making any changes to the text.

        Have a look at the "locked" property.
