Font Color for Disabled Controls

[Lourry]

Hello All,

When a control is disabled, (assuming I didn't change any default font properties), the font color becomes grey. Is there a way that when the control is disabled, the color of the font can still be black?

Reason: I do not want my users to click on some of the textboxes on my form and click Find Record (such as listboxes, or combo boxes) so I disabled them on form_load and will enable them again when a user clicks on a "MODIFY" command button. But when the controls are disabled, it is hard to read the writing that is inside it.

Thanks in advance!!

I should use the lock property instead!
