Randy,

What version of VFP? In VFP5 if I set a TextBox.Enabled=.f. it will not get focus so none of When, GotFocus, Valid, LostFocus events will occur. Perhaps you mean ReadOnly = .t. those events still all fire, it's just that can not alter the content of the field.

>>>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.
