Hi John,

Thanks, that worked as well as the overlooked property ReadOnly that Jess pointed out. I tried both and the Grid.SetAll seemed to have the most desirable look (it looked like you can't edit it) vs the ReadOnly property where you can still move the cursor to the field...

Thanks for the help.

BTW, I got the PM stuff all sorted out.
