>>>Is there a way to change the background color of the fields upon enable/disable? I need to disable all the fields and then enable upon hitting the Add/Edit button. Both the Enabled = .F. and ReadOnly = .T. makes the background too dark to read. I also have a grid that I would have to disable too...

>>>Before, I created forms (as well the whole project) with wizards and it did a good job of disable and enable (without even changing the background color), but to make the story short, I am doing a whole new project.

>Maybe you're right, but don't you see how hard it is to read those disabled fields. I can read them fine, but this is for many other end-users. Plus, I doubt that less than 50% of the users we have here have any idea what a Control Panel is. We got one person with THICK glasses and still need the 640x480 (and as you know, this does cause some problems for some applications). I will play around with all the responds I received and see what happens.

Chuck,

For a really low-vision user like you describe, your department would really be better off providing him/her with a larger monitor than paying you to program in a lot of exceptions. Programming in the exceptions is time consuming and costly, and the user should qualify for the larger monitor under the Americans With Disabilities Act.
