>I am putting up a form for users eys only(not hands) and when I disable so they cannot chg fields, the color goes a bit too dim for eye comfort. Is there an easy way to keep them bright?

Tim, we just set the read-only property to TRUE instead of disabling controls. The only problem is combo boxes, which need the 'RETURN .F.' in their WHEN event, since they don't have a read-only.

Also, we disable all of the SAVE code, and switch it to UNDO, so even if we've missed something users can't change anything permanently.
