ZoomBox help

[alex]

Hello all,

Using Access ’03…

I have a form that holds a subform. The subform is in datasheet view
and is there for users to view and search for information; all fields
are locked.

The problem: I have a long memo field that the user can double click
(or use ShiftF2) to pull up the ZoomBox. This works great.

I just discovered, however, that you can edit the record from the
ZoomBox—even though the filed is locked.

Can I still use the ZoomBox but not allow any edits to the record
inside?

Thanks,
alex

I just realized that you can edit the ZoomBox, but it won't save the
changes! I guessing because the field is locked. Hope this helps
somebody else.
