Norm, How about a zTMP_Display_Only field set as text and your regular field. Swap them out when needed and populate the DO filed with the appropriate text. Stack them and use Change filed actions to alter the visibility. HTH,

I have a couple fields on a form that in CREATE and MODIFY mode need to be displayed as text. In SEARCH mode, however, it needs to be displayed as a normal field so the tech can see he can type in it to run a search. It would be nice if I could do a simple change fields action in an AL, but that's not an option in 6.3. So...any ideas? The only thing I can think of so far is making an image of normal fields, placing it under the fields in question, and then showing it only when Mode = Query. If someone has a more elegant solution, I'd appreciate it.
