Re: the acCmdZoomBox — I have tried various ways to make the data “read-only” — nobody fiddle with this unless you want to, we’ve resolved the problem to our satisfaction by just changing the “Behavior Entering Field” to position the cursor at the start or the end, therefore the box is still editable, but it is protected from inadvertent keystrokes wiping out the whole field.
However, in attempting to make a Zoom Box into one volumnious MsgBox: I have tried variously locking (me!comments.locked = true, and, the “various” part is that I might have put it in the on-focus or on the double click of the comments field, I have forgotten, which is why I say please don’t stew on this unless you happen to have resolved this at one time and want to share). The errors I get w/ various attempts are: 1.) the user is allowed to enter to their heart’s content in the zoom box, and then loses it all when returning to the field as it is locked , and 2.) the user gets an error message alluding to my improperly setting the lock.
Just food for thought.
thx

I’ve tried a number of different combinations, and have variously made it so that the user can enter information
(“Cancel=True” not needed for the acCmd statement? — side question)
