>I have a bunch of textboxes with names in them on a form. The user can click on a textbox with a name in it to see data about that name in the lower half of the form. I have the textbox enabled, but set as read only. But how can I stop the flashing cursor when they click on the textbox?

you can click on buttons and lables, their will be no cursor, it's impossible for the user to directly change the data displayed, but there is not controlsource property and you would change the caption property rather than the value property. But I don't recommend clicking on lables ( users will find that rather odd )
