Hi Rich, Set Enabled back to True and set ReadOnly to True. This will stop the user from changing the text, but let them use the scroll bars.

I want to use TMemos with ssBoth scrollbars so people can see the entire field. First, I used TLabels to display the fields, but the fields extended past the limits of my TPanel which holds the TLabels, so I went to TMemos with scrollbars to get around this problem. But I don't want the user to be able to change the text in the TMemo any more than s/he would with the TLabel. So I set Enabled=False in the TMemo fields. Problem is, when the TMemo has lots of text, the user can't operate the scrollbars when Enabled=False. So s/he can't see the material in the TMemo which is off the visual area. I would like to present the entire text to a user, letting the user manage the scrollbar positions, but not let the user change the text. Does anyone know how to do this?
