Form Valu Searching_Editing

[js]

I have created a form that needs to be searchable by
certain fields - say customer number - but not editable.
I have locked the field (in form field properties) so it
can't be edited. Question is, how do I now make it
searchable? i.e. type in customer# and bring up the record
and all orders.
Maybe there is a better way to prevent the field from
being edited....

thanks!

Use an unbound textbox - a textbox with nothing in its Control Source
property. Don't lock it. The user can type in the textbox, but because the
textbox is not bound to a field in the underlying recordsource, the data is
not changed.
