Of course that code should read:

for i = 1 to thisform.controlcount
IF thisform.controls(i).baseclass="textbox"
**Or whatever objects you use
** For data entry, test if their subclass is the current object in the for endfor

thisform.controls(i).enabled=.F. && or .T. to enabled them
endif

endfor

I must be sleepy with this awful typing - well time for lunch!
