Hard to see fields on my form that are not enabled

[michelleb1]

There are several fields that I need to display on my form but which cannot be edited. I have set their enabled properties to no. Now, since they are "grayed out" they are difficult to read. Is there a way to display these fields more normally and not enabled?

Thanks,

Michelle

There are several things you can change in the properties for the field to make it more easily read. These include:
> Font colour (fore colour)
> Background (back colour)
> Font weight
> Other font attributes (name, size, italic, underline)

Just remember two things:
> Let your users decide what they want to see.
> Be consistent.

Have fun

you may want to change the locked property. If it is locked the user cannot edit it. And locked fields are not grayed out. I find the fore and back colors work when enabled... seems like I lose control of the color when it is not enabled.
