Read Only

[Guest]

I'm using outlook 2003 in and exchange server enviornment. I do not have
permissions to publish forms in the Organizational Forms Library. Right now
I'm sending forms to myself from my personnel forms library trying to test
different things. So I'm sure I have the correct form with the correct class
installed. I have a custom built form that has custom fields. This will be
a routed form. If Person A makes a change to a field I need for the field to
be read only to Person B. I've tried to lock and disable the field on the
open event but this erases the data input into the text field. There is a
read only option in the properties page for a text field. How can I change
this option to True/False in VBScript?

You're confusing controls and fields (aka properties). Fields store the
data. Controls display it. You can set any control to read-only. Show a code
snippet to show how you're doing it. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/propsyntax.htm#unbound if you need help with
control syntax.
