Kevin,

Thanks for the reply. I was sure I somehow lost the ReadOnly property. Why would MS think we would want some databound controls to be readonly and not others? There must be more genius at work there than I can comprehend.

Maybe someone will give use a tip on a work around to add a ReadOnly Property!

Regards,
Terry Carroll
