Fore colour of Disabled text field

[Noel]

Hi. Im using Access 2002 on XP. If I set a txt or combo
box field to Enabled = No, the contents are shown in a
light grey colour, which is a bit hard to read. Is there
any way I can change this, so that the field is not
directly changeable by the user but looks just like any
other field on the form? Thanks, Noel

If you also lock the control (Locked = Yes) in addition to disabling it, the
text color will return.
