Well, because I have always just dragged out a table field and used it. A head start on the regular field; I never once took an ordinary field and set h and v gridlines. If I needed much more power, then a DG.
So when I did it this time, and wanted to deny user editing access, I went in and tried to do just that. With my personality, such as it is, I stubbornly tried to figure out how to make it work, eventually coming to the beginners pane. Again.
I am far more interested in why I cannot, never mind Bernd's IDE hack, figure out what coaxes a table field to create that phantom field. It was far more that effort than anything as mundane as doing it in another manner, however normal and straightforward.
When I simply stuck a graphic over the table field, the problem was solved, as far as that goes, and you know I like kludges. I still do not know how the table field works. and still want to. I will think about changing fields, even though I will not be able to understand the distinction between the properties of each. Maybe I will check "the properties" of each and see.
Now then. Ahem
OK, OK.
Jacque. I will start to migrate both myself and my current project to v8 tomorrow. Why? Because I am too often unable to help anyone anymore. Oh, and I do want to stay in your good graces. You once advised me to at least move to v7, if for nothing else than the newly expanded itemDel. After all, I once started a thread asking for much more of that property than just multi-char strings.
Bogs, you are not nearly as sweet as Jacque. But I do like your style.
