Randy,

You may want the When to return ! this.ReadOnly I don't know if you are toggling ReadOnly. The Enabled=.f. visual effect is to give the user a clear indication of the difference between controls that can be edited and those that can't. If you alter the Disabled* colors you may be able to find a more suitable appearance.

>Sorry, I did mean the field was mark as readOnly. I like the clarity of the fields better with readOnly than the ugly dimmed gray when the field is marked enabled = .f. I am going to put in my when event return .f. this should give me what I am looking for. I hope.
