Conditional Formats Confounded Locked/Enabled Properties

[Access User]

I have a field in a sub-form called 'Aneurism' which is a number field. When
it's values are between 1 and 3, then I conditionally formatted the color of
the bckgrnd to be greeen, taking a red when it's > 3.

When I had initially set the field's props in form view, I set enabled=No
and locked=Yes.

I find that now that the CF is on the field, the field can be entered and
the value changed :-(

Someone suggested that the 'enabled' button to the right of things when
using the CF fieature be selected. I did, but while it freezes the user from
entering the field, it also turns it a grey bckgrnd.

Why is this happening, or more to the point, how do we get around it?

As an aside can you differentiate between multi and cross-posting?

I think you kind of left anyone posing the same question hanging there
though, didn't you. I never said I needed to know how to tackle the task of
doing one over the other, but I would've thought that given the fact the
difference between the two was invited that the way to do each would've
seemed like a great way to wrap up your answer.
