[AccessD] tabbed form question

Gershon,

On the 'data' tab of the text box properties...there is a LOCKED property ( 
does not allow user to edit data in this field).  This allows me to display 
the questions and a check box for each record...and the user can use the 
check box...but not edit the question.  You can even go a step farther and 
use the textbox's format properties(back style,back color, etc.) to make it 
look like a label.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,

Mark
