Adding a text box to a form

Yahoo Archive
1
It is normal for the form, when first opened to have all fields, except the fields required to create or retrieve a record, to be grayed out and if customization is opened from that state, the field will show as read only.

Try bringing in a record and see if the field remains read only

Ddi you set the Property to read only?
If so you need to set the extended property of the field to read only
instead. IN 9.0XX go to Tools -> wizards - Extended Properties select the
field and set Read only

I actually want read only to be false. I have tried setting ReadOnly to false on the properties tab of the Customization Tools Diagram window as well as in the Extended properties. I save and when I go back in to view the properties the ReadOnly is set back to True again. My text box is linked to ShipTo.Character01 for what that is worth.
