Mike, I can see there are certain times when you cannot make do with making
it a label (wanting to re-use the same form without adding a lot of code at
the start to change the type for example). So cheat a little - Place the
textbox in a frame, remove the frame border, and set the FRAMES enabled
property to false.

I have a UserForm which looks identical - except I have a read only mode
and an update mode

I've tried changing the following properties of the TextBox, but I can't
achieve the effect where it looks/behaves like a Label, for example

Set Enabled to true - not too bad in that you can't click or tab onto
it, but it's a dimmed out version

Set Locked to true - not dimmed like setting Enable to true, but it's
still possible to tab into the field

Set TabStop to FALSE, is fine in that you can't reach it with the TAB
key, but you can still click into it


Setting Locked to True and TabStop to False is a compromise I'm happy to
live with, but can I go the whole hog? I'm using XL2000 SR-1a
