Remove read-only attribute from a field

[SDecou]

I have a field set to read-only because I am populating it in a query that
runs in form load. On the submit of the data I want to check to make sure
that this field is populated, if not I need to remove the read-only attribute
and let the user manually enter text. Is this possible in Infopath?

Hi
Here is an alternate solution. You can try this

1. Open the form in design mode
2. Go to properties window of the text box by double clicking on it
3. Click on “Display†tab
4. Click on “Conditional formatting†button
5. Click on “Add†button
6. In the first drop down select the field’s name and in second dropdown
select “is not blankâ€
7. Check “Read-only†check box
8. Click “Ok†three times
9. Save the changes made in the form

I hope this helps you
