>Can someone tell me how to do this. I have a Textbox that does have a field ControlSource - but I want it to act just like a Label so that it can't be selected by the mouse. I do want the data from the field to appear on the form. I have set:

>BackStyle = 0 Transparent
>BorderStyle = 0 None
>TabStop = .F.
>Visible = .T.
