I have a command button on a form that opens a text field in a zoom box (DoCmd.Runcommand acCmdZoomBox). Is there any way to change the properties of the zoom box so the contents are read-only?

Click to expand...

Let me make sure i understand you.
You have a field in which users can enter and modify data at will.
The only time you wish to have the field read only is if they use the
Zoom Box. Is that correct?

(Why not use the control's Double-click event instead of a separate
command button?)

Code the Command button click event:

Me![ControlName].SetFocus
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdZoomBox
Me![ControlName].Locked = True

Then code the [ControlName] control's Exit event:
Me![ControlName].Locked = False

The user can type in the Zoom Box, but it will not change the actual
data in the field.
The control will be unlocked when you navigate to the next control.
