Hi Ken,

Thanks for the idea. The only problem is I have a disable and enable data methods that work really well. It will be a pain to change it to the When just for the check box and option group. I guess I'm just getting lazy.

I did find that if I use the disableforecolor setting of 3,3,3 it looks pretty good and its more readable when disabled.

There should be a easier way to control this without having the user go into their control panel settings to fix the disabled color.
