Randy,

>With the field marked as a readOnly why does the code still execute.

What code still executes?

>What I am looking for is good clarity on my fields and when I use the enabled property the clarity is not that good. With the field marked as enabled = .F. I have played around with the background color and forecolor properties and can not come up with a good combination. If you know of one Please let me know.

The Disabled* color properties are used when the Enabled=.f.
