Disable "disabled" field formatting

A

I have a form where I have three currency fields - Price, discount, and net.

There's really no need to hold the "net" data on a table since that's easily
calculated.

So... I have created the "net" field to be calculated on my form. Since it
only gets derived from the other two, I have it "disabled". However, I want
people to be able to read it as well as anything else, so the "graying"
effect that shows the field is not enabled is NOT what I want.

Short of enabling the field, is there any way to turn that automatic
formatting off?

Hi, Andy.

Yeah, that used to bug me too.

Set Locked to Yes, Enabled to Yes, and TabStop to No.

Hope that helps.

If your "net" textbox has a calculation in its controlsource, it won't be
editable anyhow; you don't need to disable it.
