What you can do is put all of the controls in a container, then disable the container...

To put the controls in the container select the container, then right click and choose edit...

Then drop the controls on the container. The container can be transparent if you want...

Then if you do...

thisform.container1.enabled = .f.

You will not be able to access any of the text boxes...

You can also do...

thisform.container1.visible = .f.

And all of the text boxes will be invisible too.
