Formatting a disabled text box

G

Guest

I have a text box that calculates fields. I don't want users to change the
value, so I selected "NO" under Enable. However, the field is grey with a
slightly darker grey font. It is very hard to read. Is there a way I can
reformat this disabled text box?

I am using 2003.

Thank you!

You need to change the Locked property of the field to Yes, that will make
the font and the text box color normal.

The Enable without setting the lock, will make the field gray.
