Judy,

One more thing you can try is setting the DisabledColor to 0,0,1 instead of 0,0,0

>I have a logical field that displays nicely as a check box on a form. This form is for viewing only, no editing, so I marked the control enabled=.F. I would like the color of the box to look as it does when enabled for easier reading, but when I change the disabled forecolor to black, it does not apear very clear and the box itself remains gray. I know I can get rid of the caption and use a label for the text, but is there any other way to do this and to get the check box itself to look the way it does when enabled?
