thank you so much for your help

Go to the Data tab of the properties sheet for the TextBox and play with the
Enabled and Locked properties!

Clara, when do you want to make it uneditable?

Is the textbox being filled thru code and you never want the user to be able
to edit it? If so, Ruralguy's suggestion will do the job.

Or do you want the user to be able to fill in data for the textbox in a new
record but not be able to edit the data at a later time? In this case
something like this:

Private Sub Form_Current()
If Not IsNull(Me.txtYourBox) Then
Me.txtYourBox.Locked = True
Else: Me.txtYourBoxB.Locked = False
End If
End Sub

where txtYourBox is the actuak name of your textbox.
