I have a text box that I don't want a persone to be able to tab too. Is it
possible to make it so you can't tab to it. If so how?
Thanks

Set the Enabled property to No. If you don't want the grayed out effect,
then also set the Locked property to Yes.

If you want to prevent people from tabbing to the text box, but still allow
them to click in it, set its Tab Stop property (on the 'Other' tab in the
Properties window) to No. If you want to prevent clicking as well, set the
Enabled and/or Locked properties (on the 'Data' tab).
