1. You can set the enabled property to .f. and change the disabled forecolor and backcolor properties if you do not want it to appear disabled.
2. You can return .f. from the WHEN event and it won't allow the text box to ever get focus.

>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.

>but if the user "mouses" around enough over that he can still select it.
