simple ?- unable to edit text box quandry

[Mark Kubicki]

on a pop-up form, I have a couple of controls (text boxes...) in the footer,
these controls are unbound

when the form has it's open event, those fields are populated with data from
a separate, unrelated form

HOWEVER, I am not able to edit the fields (they behave as if they were
locked, which they are not)
any suggestions why would be greatly appreciated

many thanks in advance
mark

never mind... i found te error: the controls were not locked, but the form
was locked for editing...

(when all else fails, check the obvious !!)
