changing Dialog form's control

[questionit]

Hi everyone

I want to open a form as a Dialog and then i want to change the form controls' property e.g make a textbox disabled etc.

I've tried various ways but dont seems to work.

I was wondering if i can open a form as acNormal and then change its control properties and finally make this opened form as acDialog

I've also tried opening a form then changing it to 'popup' - but can't do it to the opened form !

Can someone help me in doing such a thing ?


Thanks
Qi

One way of doing is to make the form 'Modal' instead of 'PopUp' or 'Dialog'.

but what if you want it as Dialog and/or Popup ?

Did you issue a Me.Refresh or Me.requery after disabling a control ?

No,

I have tried but you cant change the properties of a popup or a Dialog form - you would get an error. I think making form 'Modal' is the only option.

Hmm, I never use Dialog or Popup forms as they have some nasty side-effects like not triggering the OnActivate event on the "original" form...

Without a real reason I would indeed only use the default form format.
