z178 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 A layout in my database has text fields with scroll bars. I have users who use the layout only to browse records. (They cannot make changes the records). If I uncheck allow field to be entered in browse mode, The scroll bars get disabled too. How can I allow a user scroll through a text field but disable Editing the text in the text field? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 The "easy" way is to make a calculation field that equals the text field, and display the calculation field. A smarter way might be to use access privileges to not allow editing in the field, but I'm not sure whether that disallows entry as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
